Recent data from international organizations and national surveys show that child labor and child marriage are generally decreasing. However, progress is uneven across different regions, and the speed of this decline is slowing down.

國際組織與國家調查的最新數據顯示，童工與童婚現象總體上正在減少。然而，不同地區的進展並不平均，且下降速度有所放緩。

According to the National Family Health Survey 6 (NFHS-6), the rate of child marriage in India fell to 20.1%, down from 23.3% in 2019-2021. Experts emphasize that this decline is due to more girls attending secondary school, increased urbanization, and government welfare programs. Nevertheless, the progress has slowed; for example, the rate dropped by only 3.2 percentage points between 2021 and 2024. There are also big differences between states. While Kerala has a very low rate of 2.9%, West Bengal and Bihar remain high. In contrast, Rajasthan saw an increase from 21.3% to 24.6% due to low literacy and rural living conditions. Meanwhile, in Uttar Pradesh, stronger law enforcement led to over 5,000 child labor rescues and prevented more than 17,000 child marriages.

根據第六次國家家庭健康調查 (NFHS-6)，印度的童婚率從 2019-2021 年的 23.3% 下降至 20.1%。專家強調，此下降是由於更多女孩就讀中學、都市化增加以及政府福利計畫所致。儘管如此，進展已有所放緩；例如 2021 年至 2024 年間，該率僅下降了 3.2 個百分點。各邦之間也存在顯著差異。雖然喀拉拉邦的率極低，僅為 2.9%，但西孟加拉邦與比哈爾邦依然居高不下。相反，拉賈斯坦邦由於識字率低及農村生活條件，率從 21.3% 上升至 24.6%。同時，在北方邦，更強而有力的法律執行地導致超過 5,000 名童工獲救援，並阻止了 17,000 多起童婚。

On a global scale, the ILO and UNICEF estimate that 138 million children are in child labor, and 54 million of them do dangerous work. Agriculture is the biggest sector, accounting for 61% of these cases. Sub-Saharan Africa is the most affected region, with 87 million child laborers. This crisis is caused by economic instability, climate disasters, and a lack of social support. To solve these problems, Tanzania and Brazil have started working together to share strategies for the cotton industry. They are focusing on using more machinery and improving health and safety standards to reduce the need for child labor.

在全球範圍內，國際勞工組織 (ILO) 與聯合國兒童基金會 (UNICEF) 估計有 1.38 億名兒童為童工，其中 5,400 萬名從事危險工作。農業是最大的部門，佔這些病例的 61%。撒哈拉以南非洲是最受影響的地區，有 8,700 萬名童工。這場危機是由經濟不穩定、氣候災害及缺乏社會支持引起的。為了解決這些問題，坦尚尼亞與巴西已開始合作分享棉花產業的策略。他們專注於使用更多機械並提高健康與安全標準，以減少對童工的需求。

Although government programs have reduced child exploitation globally and nationally, deep economic problems still prevent these practices from being completely stopped.

雖然政府計畫在全球與國家層面減少了兒童被剝削的情況，但深層的經濟問題仍阻礙了這些做法被完全停止。
