Nepal has made progress in reducing child labor but still has work to do to meet UN Sustainable Development Goals. The percentage of children aged 7-14 who are employed in Nepal decreased from 47% in 2000 to 42% in 2014. However, the goal is to eliminate the worst forms of child labor by 2025 and all child labor by 2030. Immediate action needs to be taken to protect children's rights and end all forms of child slavery and labor as soon as possible given children's special vulnerability and need for protection and care.
