It defines the worst forms of child labour as including slavery, trafficking, debt bondage, forced labour, use of children in armed conflict, prostitution, pornography, illicit activities like drug trafficking, and work that is likely to harm a child's health, safety or morals. Countries that ratify this convention must take immediate steps to prohibit and eliminate the worst forms of child labour as a matter of urgency. It also defines a child as anyone under 18 years of age.
