1. This message is Post's response to U.S. Department of
Labor's (DOL) request for information about forced labor or
child labor in the production of goods in the Macau Special
Administrative Region (reftel).


2. Macau does not have a record of forced labor or child
labor in the production of goods. Illegal labor cases
generally involve adult workers without proper documentation
employed in construction or other service sectors. Exchanges
with the host government, NGOs, academic contacts, and USG
law enforcement agencies at Post have not yielded any
indications of forced or child labor in the production of
goods in Macau.
