Abstract: Today, there are around 160 million child labors worldwide under serious situation. Since some relevant international regulations are soft, the executive systems are not guaranteed by every country, international organizations do not take their responsibilities, and some international remedies are not activated, they cannot be protected by their families’ employers, the government, and even the last screen, law. Multinational enterprises (MNE), indispensable participants in everyday commercial activities, sometimes utilize the articles of incorporations to evade legal consequences. Lately, three measures have been posed to ameliorate this phenomenon. The government should intervene in legislation proceedings under child labor so that public awareness can be changed. MNEs should protect their education right and basic life. Not only government supervision but also regulatory areas need to be strengthened. Different MNEs, mainly some small but labor-intensive subsidiaries, take different measures to improve child labor’s current situation.
