Approfondissement des Connaissances sur le Travail des Enfants dans les Mines et Carriéres du Bénin

For more efficiency of the ECOWAS II program, this study was initiated following a previous one carried out in 2008, with a view to updating and deepening knowledge on child labor in mines and quarries. The study specifically targets several objectives, such as: to carry out an exhaustive inventory of functional sites and make a census of all children working in artisanal gravel, granite and gold panning operations; to identify, describe, and analyze the different operating systems of mines and quarries in the three sub-sectors; and to carry out a gender analysis in relation to working children.
