British Virgin Islands
2023 Findings on the Worst Forms of Child Labor:

No Advancement

Although research found no evidence that child labor exists in the British Virgin Islands, in 2023, the government made no advancement in efforts to prevent the worst forms of child labor. In addition, there is no list of hazardous work prohibited for children, nor does the law criminalize the use of children in illicit activities, including in the production and trafficking of drugs. Further, as the minimum age for work of 16 years old is lower than the compulsory education age of 17 years old, children may be encouraged to leave school before the completion of compulsory education.
