The report also contains survey findings about children’s non-economic activities, principally, attending school and engagement in household chores An important feature of the report is that the estimates and classifications of working children and child labor are aligned to the international statistical measurement standards on child labor adopted in 2008 at the 18th International Conference of Labour Statisticians.

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.
