International Labour Organization's Conventions 138 and 182 are related to

A
Child labour
Correct answer
B
Adaptation of agricultural practices to global climate change
C
Regulation of food prices and food security
D
Gender parity at the workplace

Explanation

ILO Conventions 138 and 182 are the fundamental international treaties aimed at eliminating child labour, specifically focusing on the minimum age for employment and the prohibition of the worst forms of child labour, respectively. While gender parity (Option D) is a major ILO objective, it is governed by different core conventions such as C100 and C111. The core concept being tested is the identification of major international labor standards, particularly those ratified by India in 2017 to align with global human rights benchmarks.
