Labour and rights groups say a large number of Nepali child workers have been left out of a new, time-bound, programme for eliminating the worst forms of child labour. The programme targets five groups of child workers: porters, domestics, rag pickers, bonded labourers and victims of trafficking. Children working in the informal sector-agriculture, construction and industry like garments and carpets-are left out. According to ILO, nearly one in every three children of Nepal's 7.9 million children between ages five and fourteen is a child worker.
