To the Ministry of Labor
•
Enhance child labor inspections in the agricultural and construction sectors.
Undertake such inspections as part of a comprehensive response with other
ministries to address the causes of child labor by unaccompanied children,
including the lack of care arrangements, obstacles to access state care and
protection, the absence of a regular status for unaccompanied migrant
children, and the dysfunctional guardianship system. Ensure that such
inspections do not lead to more clandestine forms of child labor, and monitor
possible negative effects of such inspections on children who continue to rely
on illegal work. Provide all children found working in prohibited forms of labor
access to state-funded care as well as rehabilitation and reintegration
services.

guardian and have access to legal aid free of charge.
Enact legislation to provide legal assistance free of charge for
unaccompanied children in all administrative and judicial proceedings.
Revise legislation regulating the return of unaccompanied children in
accordance with international law and standards. The return of an
unaccompanied child to the country of origin should only be carried out if it is
a durable solution in the child’s best interests, and it must be preceded by an
assessment of risks and dangers upon return, the care arrangements
