2) Provide baseline values for project indicators,
3) Provide context-related information on: household/family characteristics for children in child labor, formal/non-formal education opportunities for children, employment opportunities for youth 15-17, and involvement of cocoa processing/buying companies and farmer unions/cooperatives.

This report constitutes an exploratory analysis of two previously selected border areas of Peru: between Peru and Ecuador through Tumbes and the triple border between Peru and Brazil and Colombia. These borders show a growing presence of forced labor and human trafficking, and this report offers a proposal of criteria that allow decisions to be made to carry out future in-depth investigations of these borders by regional governments and public & private institutions.

This is a research study that seeks to document the form of recruitment and economic logic of human trafficking and forced labor, as well as to establish analytical connections with the importance of illegal economies and organized crime in the triple border area of Peru, Brazil, and Colombia. The study seeks to collect data that facilitates the development of intervention strategies and implementation of national public policies for prevention, detection and prosecution.

This report provides statistical information on demographic and socio-economic characteristics of working children aged 5–17 years as well as some related information on the households they belong to. The report also contains survey findings about children’s non-economic activities, principally attending school and engagement in household chores. Generally, all estimates and classifications of the working children and child labour are aligned to the international statistical measurement standards adopted at 18th International Conference of Labour Statisticians (18th ICLS).

The survey collected information on children's economic activity, social status, living conditions, employment, type of employment, working conditions, sectors of activity and occupation, involvement in household chores, and interactions between employment-education and employment-health. In addition, the survey provided the opportunity to examine the characteristics of child labour in Armenia for the first time, including the involvement of children in hazardous labour. The survey findings will provide up-to-date statistical information on children's involvement in the labour market and enrich Armenia's labour market statistics, as well as clarify the situation of children's economic activity in the context of before-mentioned conventions.
