In the past 10 years the practice of doing child labour has increased in the cocoa farms of Ivory Coast and Ghana despite the industries said that they will reduce it. This report was given by academics on Monday. According to a study found out by the United States Government, the practice of children doing hazardous work, including using sharp tools, has also gone up in the world’s top two cocoa producers.
Companies like Mars, Hershey, Nestle and Cargill agreed to reduce the child labour in 2010 but now there is increased practice of same by 70 per cent. The US Department of labour appointed a new independent team to create a new report of the data and Ghana once again questioned it.
