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 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.

This assessment of the Labor Inspectorate was conducted to contribute to a better understanding of the legislative, social and administrative environment in which Inspectors and Controllers function and the challenges they face in their day-to-day work. This document includes an overview of sectors in which child labor is most prevalent, an overview of the legal and policy framework relevant to addressing child labor, information on different actors' activities to address child labor,  as well as an overview of the labor inspectorate. Based on information gathered from desk research and interviews with key stakeholders, this assessment then formulates recommendations on how the Ministry of Labor and Social Security, the Department to Combat Child Labor (DLTE) and the regional labor offices can improve their effectiveness and efficiency in combatting child labor.

This report summarizes the findings and analysis for the initial E4Y project market assessment in the SNNP (Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples) and Amhara regions of Ethiopia. This market assessment was designed to support efforts to improve access to acceptable and decent work opportunities for target youth ages 14-17 within Ethiopia by providing relevant market information as to which economic sectors youth should focus on in order to achieve success.

The purpose of the assessment was to gain an understanding of the inspectorate’s mandate and authority, as well as its resources, management structure and overall ability to enforce national laws and meet international obligations as they pertain to child labor. Information gleaned from the assessment will be used to develop tools and a training program on eliminating child labor for inspectors and other relevant personnel, such as trainers, managers and those working within the Child Labor Elimination Section at Nepal’s Department of Labor.
