Fledglings, Idle People and Warriors: Perception Study on Child Labor in Mining Areas of Colombia: This qualitative study examines the perceptions that those directly involved have about child labor. By directly involved we refer to minors who work or they might be able to work and the adults responsible for their upbringing. This document contains five stories that show the narration of the participants in a fictional format. They are stories about the experiences of these families around child labor. They collect the description of their environment, their way of expressing themselves, their anecdotes, their expectations and desires from the observer's point of view.

Perceptions and Imaginaries about Child Labor in Colombian Gold and Coal Mining: This study tries to identify these relationships and propose alternatives to overcome the factors that promote and justify it. The study combines quantitative and qualitative social research techniques to obtain a different perception, with an internalized vision of the causes of child labor, both at a general level and at a particular level in the Colombian ASM of coal and gold. In addition, it offers an analysis without barriers, which highlights the point of view of miners and shows the importance of taking their opinions into account, with a view to making them the agents of change on child labor.
