    Child labor and human rights abuses have been linked to cocoa production in West African countries. Approximately 1.6 million children in Ghana engage in child labor for the cocoa industry. However, some programs aimed at reducing child labor have shown success. A recent study found child labor reduced by one-third in communities where company programs are in place. Government actions in Ghana have also led to increased school attendance. The cocoa industry has pledged to reduce child labor in cocoa production to 0% by 2025.

    Child Labor and Why Is It A
    BIG Issue
    1.6 million children are
    engaged with child labor in
    Ghana.
    What Are We Doing to Stop
    Child Labor in Cocoa?
    Some good results.
    • A recent study demonstrates that child labor has
    been reduced by one-third in communities where
    company programs are in place.
    • Governments’ actions on education have led to almost all
    children now attending school in Ghana
    • The more than 60 percent increase in total cocoa
    production over the past 10 years did not bring a similar
    surge in child labor.
