Keynote speaker
Dr. Maria Rosa De Paolis, Policy Officer for Employment and Social Inclusion at the Directorate-General for International Cooperation and Development of the European Commission

The majority of workers in developing countries are trapped in vulnerable jobs and lack of living wages: their children are at risk to be engaged in child labour and perpetuating the intergenerational poverty. As part of the EU commitment to implement the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development the EC works with partner countries and other institutions to increase access to decent work, education and skills, ensure fair income and living wages as the best route to ending child labour, reducing inequalities, combatting poverty and leaving no one behind.
