International Labour Organization's Conventions 138 and 182 are related to
Answer
Child labour
- (a) Child labour — Correct. ILO Convention No. 138 deals with the minimum age for admission to employment, and Convention No. 182 deals with the worst forms of child labour.
- (b) Adaptation of agricultural practices to global climate change — Incorrect. These conventions are not about climate adaptation or agriculture; they are labour-rights conventions focused on children.
- (c) Regulation of food prices and food security — Incorrect. ILO Conventions 138 and 182 have no connection with food pricing or food security policy.
- (d) Gender parity at the workplace — Incorrect. Gender equality is covered under other ILO conventions, not Conventions 138 and 182.
Therefore, the correct answer is (a) Child labour.
