Section 5 of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 is further amended by adding at the end the following: In order to further the purposes of this Act, the Secretary shall develop and maintain an effective program of collection, compilation, and analysis of statistics on employment practices with respect to wages, hours, child labor, and other matters of concern for this Act, including such employment practices that may constitute violations of this Act. Such statistical program shall, to the extent feasible, include demographic information about employees subject to violations under this Act and facilitate comparisons of information in such statistical program and in the statistical program established pursuant to section 24 of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 ( 29 U.S.C. 673 ).
To carry out the Secretary’s duties under this subsection, the Secretary may exercise the same authority available to the Secretary under section 24 of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 ( 29 U.S.C. 673 ). The Secretary shall, not less frequently than annually, publish a report of statistical data covering— the employment of children under the age of 18, including the numbers of such children and the hours worked, the demographics of such children, in total and disaggregated by the age groups, school statuses, and occupational categories that are relevant to the administration, investigation, or enforcement of the requirements relating to child labor under sections 12 or 13(c) of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938; the incidence and prevalence of oppressive child labor, including the number and demographics of children affected, the industries and occupations in which oppressive child labor occurred, and the types of child labor violations, based on enforcement data and, to the extent feasible and in consultation with the Secretary of Health and Human Services, such other data as may be useful to account for underreporting and limitations of enforcement data in capturing the full incidence and prevalence of oppressive child labor; and to the extent feasible, estimates of the data described in clauses
(i)and
(ii)at the State level. The Secretary shall periodically develop targeted surveys or other data collections relevant to determining the experience of oppressive child labor by particularly vulnerable populations, including migrant children and children in poverty. The Secretary shall coordinate statistical programs across the Federal government that collect data related to children to ensure that such programs, to the extent practicable, shall collect and report data on the employment of children, oppressive child labor, and young workers’ occupational illness and injury in standardized and compatible terms. . Section 24(a) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 ( 29 U.S.C. 673(a) ) is amended by adding at the end The Secretary shall report such statistics on an annual basis. Such annual report shall include the analysis of occupational illnesses, injuries, and fatalities disaggregated
(1)by relevant demographics, and
(2)by the age groups that are relevant to the administration, investigation, or enforcement of the requirements relating to child labor under sections 12 or 13(c) of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, across country of origin, race, and ethnicity. .
