Echo patterns are similarity-based hypotheses, not proof of causation. Open the sources and evaluate the linkage yourself.

Evidence Scorecard

Three lenses — wording, timing, documented link. Not a single proof score.

Probable echo
Semantic
Strong semantic alignment
Temporal
Global precedent precedes Korea
Linkage
Official Korean agency source + concept alignment (no explicit citation recorded)
Multilingual semantic similarity
cosine similarity (method detail)0.845

Computed with intfloat/multilingual-e5-small multilingual embeddings. Display score is a calibrated mapping of the raw cross-lingual cosine (0.845); higher means closer meaning. Reflects semantic similarity, not proof of causation.

Aligned sentences

The CRC Article 32 protects children from economic exploitation and hazardous work, complemented by ILO Conventions 138 and 182 on minimum age and worst forms of child labour.

Agenda Arc

Curated

Global purpose, Korean purpose, and precursor stages. Reasoning echo is discourse observation — not proof of coordination.

Global purpose

Prohibit child labour under CRC and ILO conventions, enforced through ongoing Labour Standards Act revisions.

Korean purpose

대한민국은 「근로기준법」 제64조(최저 취업연령 15세)와 제65조(18세 미만 유해·위험작업 금지), 「청소년 보호법」을 통해 CRC 아동노동 금지 기준을 이행한다. 1999년 ILO 제138호, 2001년 ILO 제182호 협약을 비준했다.

청소년 보호법 — 대한민국은 「근로기준법」 제64조(최저 취업연령 15세)와 제65조(18세 미만 유해·위험작업 금지), 「청소년 보호법」을 통해 CRC 아동노동 금지 기준을 이행한다. 1999년 ILO 제138호, 2001년 ILO 제182호 협약을 비준했다.

Reasoning echo

Observed framing link: CRC Child Labor Prohibition → Korea Child Labor Protection | minimum age for employment (15 years) → 최저 취업연령 (15세). Not a claim of coordination.
