In the fourth quarter of 2015 the National Statistics Office of Georgia (GEOSTAT) conducted the National Child Labour Survey (NCLS) with financial and technical support of the International Labour Organization (ILO). The survey covered approximately 7,700 households with 5-17 year-old children. The survey is based on the UN Convention on the rights of the child and the ILO Fundamental Conventions on prohibition and elimination of child labour. The objective of the NCLS 2015 is to assess the situation, scope, causes and consequences of child labour in Georgia.

The overall objective of the report is to study the extent and characteristics of productive activities (i.e. economic and non-economic) carried out by children and adolescents between 5 and 17 years of age in El Salvador, and in particular, identify the forms of work prohibited by national legislation and international conventions ratified by the country, with particular emphasis on those that should be urgently eradicated (e.g., hazardous work).

The objectives of this report are to determine the magnitude and characteristics of economic activity (occupancy rates, child labor, hazardous work, risk of forced labor) and to analyze patterns of time use (participation in economic activities, school attendance and participation in housework at home) of children aged 5 to 17 years in Peru. It also aims to analyze the determinants of the relationship between the participation of children of this age group in economic activities and school, describe the relationship between child labor and health, estimate the magnitude and characterize the participation of children in domestic tasks in the home itself, and present the progress of the National Strategy for the Prevention and Eradication of Child Labor project from 2012-2021.

1-page (front and back) handout describing the objectives of the MOCA program. Formatted to A4 paper.

This document outlines a six step do-it-yourself process for planning, implementing, and evaluating a Comprehensive Occupational Health and Safety (OSH) Program in tea sector focusing on the vulnerability of young workers. A model of the six steps is outlined in PART I, while the detailed program is described in PART II. This document also provides an effective monitoring and evaluation of an OSH program in PART III while other OSH program resources are described in PART IV. These resources include worksheets, progress checklists, and information on how the Rwandese Federation of Tea Cooperatives (FERWACOTHE), Ministry of Labor and Public Services (MIFOTRA) or any other partner can help young workers to manage occupational hazards in their workplaces themselves.

This Manual first outlines the various hazards and risks in the tea sector of Rwanda, and then presents modules for addressing these hazards and risks based on the participatory risk assessment approach. The training is targeted at tea growers’ representatives, tea cooperatives’ representatives, tea factories’ representatives, and members of the Federation of Rwandan Tea Cooperatives (FERWACOTHE) as well as other key stakeholders in the tea sector such as NGOs, Winrock staff, district and central labor inspectorate staff. The Manual is designed primarily for improving the working conditions of tea growers, especially young workers between 16 and 17 years old. The training can be delivered through multiple partners and platforms, including with the support of Winrock as well as the Department of Labor within MIFOTRA.
