    • Sweat and Toil API

    Metadata Updated: January 20, 2026

    These datasets contain information on child labor and forced labor worldwide from ILAB’s three flagship reports: Findings on the Worst Forms of Child Labor; List of Goods Produced by Child Labor or Forced Labor; and List of Products Produced by Forced or Indentured Child Labor. There are 14 tables containing data from the 2015-2019 reporting cycles and 11 tables from the 2014 reporting cycle. ILAB plans to update the structure of the API. This information is also available in ILAB’s app, Sweat & Toil: Child Labor, Forced Labor, and Human Trafficking Around the World. For more information, see ILAB’s International Child Labor and Forced Labor Reports page. https://www.dol.gov/agencies/ilab/resources/reports/child-labor/findings https://developer.dol.gov/others/sweat-and-toil/
