A newsletter describing the actions and achievements of the My-PEC project from June 2016 to December 2016.

Legalization of Small Mining: The objective of this booklet is to explain to you what mining formalization is, and to give you the necessary tools to understand the obligations that mining title holders who work under a mining title must comply with.

Socio-labor Aspects of Small Mining: Throughout this booklet, you will discover the tools you can use to appropriate the knowledge that applies to mining in labor matters. You will also learn about Occupational Health and Safety Management System (SG-SST) and how to implement  it in your operation. In addition, we will address a very sensitive issue in mining: child labor. You will learn about this problem in detail and understand why mining is one of the worst forms of child labor that must be eradicated.

The Alliance for Responsible Mining, within the framework of the Somos Tesoro project, launches its campaign "For my family and for me, I take care of myself!", a message of self-care that reminds miners, their families and their communities of the precautionary measures they must take to avoid the risks existing in Artisanal and Small-Scale Mining.

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 survey collected information on children's economic activity, social status, living conditions, employment, type of employment, working conditions, sectors of activity and occupation, involvement in household chores, and interactions between employment-education and employment-health. In addition, the survey provided the opportunity to examine the characteristics of child labour in Armenia for the first time, including the involvement of children in hazardous labour. The survey findings will provide up-to-date statistical information on children's involvement in the labour market and enrich Armenia's labour market statistics, as well as clarify the situation of children's economic activity in the context of before-mentioned conventions.

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.
