Why was the EO limited to products made with forced or indentured child labor? Why not all child labor?
• DOL undertakes efforts on several fronts to address child labor globally, including research on child labor, administration of international technical cooperation programs to combat child labor, and raising awareness on the topic. The EO List is just one piece of DOL’s global efforts. The EO was designed to be consistent with current U.S. law, which prohibits the importation of products made with forced or indentured labor.
