Abstract: 
Despite SDG target 8.7 aiming to eliminate child labour by 2025, 137.6 million children remain affected worldwide, highlighting the urgent need for action. Effective approaches go beyond prohibition, addressing root causes through social protection, education, decent work, and childcare systems, supported by social dialogue with affected communities, including the voices of affected children. This paper offers targeted recommendations to Austrian and EU institutions, encouraging them to drive change through multilateral and bilateral cooperation, enforce corporate responsibility across supply chains, and support local initiatives.
