‘Further coordination needed to combat child labour’

AMMAN — Labour Ministry Secretary General Hamadah Abu Nijmeh on Monday stressed the importance of increasing coordination among the members of the country’s National Committee to Combat Child Labour, especially in light of the growing phenomenon as a result of the Syrian refugee crisis.

At a ministry meeting, Abu Nijmeh said the committee should convene at least four times a year to ensure adequate coordination, and to boost national efforts to eliminate the problem.
