$US2.5m to eliminate PNG child labour
Updated
The Netherlands has allocated $US2.5 million for the elimination of child labour in Papua New Guinea.
The National newspaper reports the funding is part of a 36-month program that also covers Kiribati, Samoa, Solomon Islands and Vanuatu.
PNG Acting deputy secretary for Labour and Industrial Relations Martin Kase says the program will help determine the extent of child labour in the country.
He says current data is inadequate.
