Answer: A. ILO Convention 138 (1973) sets the minimum age for employment and Convention 182 (1999) deals with the worst forms of child labour. India ratified both in 2017. So child labour.
Watch for: Recent news on India's 2017 ratification is the key; the numbers alone give no hint.
Why the other options are wrong
- B. Wrong because these conventions do not deal with climate change.
- C. Wrong because they do not deal with food prices.
- D. Wrong because gender parity is covered by other conventions, such as 100 and 111.
