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.

The aim of this study is to conduct a district-level and community-level market assessment for goods and services to better understand current market gaps and opportunities for adolescent girls ages 15-17 and vulnerable women in targeted areas of Eastern province in Zambia. It is meant to conduct a Value Chain Analysis (VCA) of selected agricultural and non-agricultural products to identify the opportunities and challenges, identify the knowledge and skills gaps of adolescent girls and young women in business development (demand side) and the capacity of the training and livelihoods service providers in meeting the business development needs of adolescent girls and young women. Further, this study identifies the opportunities that business enterprises in the districts provide for the growth of entrepreneurship for adolescent girls and young women.

A report presenting the results of a baseline and prevalence survey on the topic of child labor administered to caregivers and children in Chadiza, Chipata, Katete, Lundazi, and Petauke in Eastern province of Zambia. The first part of the report covers the background information of the baseline study followed by detailed description of the approach used to collect, analyze and present the baseline findings. The report highlights some of the study limitations before presenting the baseline results. This is then followed by the conclusions and recommendations.

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).

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.
