Al Jazeera English published this video item, entitled “Mali child labourers: Children forced to earn money at young age” – below is their description.
It is the final day of the fifth Global Conference on the Elimination of Child Labour, where delegates hope to agree on plans to end the practice by 2025.
The UN says up to 160 million children are involved in the work, often in dangerous conditions.
At least 40,000 of them are in Mali, one of Africa’s biggest gold producers.
