A report that presents quantitative information related to forced labor and child labor in Peru in the regions of Cusco, Lima, and Loreto. The report's four sections present the survey methodology; analysis of the survey data including perceptions, awareness, impact, and treatment of forced labor and child labor; the conclusions and findings of the analysis; and supplementary materials including a technical sheet and dictionary of variables.

This paper is aimed at providing an initial picture of some of the key channels through which climate change is linked to child labor, and the broad implications for policy moving forward. This paper explains that while it is widely recognized that climate change is affecting the global labor force, its effects on child labor have received less research attention and cannot be directly derived from its effects on adult work, as the underlying drivers of child labor and its associated risks are quite different. This paper demonstrates that children are a population group particularly at risk from the system shocks caused by climate change, such as industrial disruption, food insecurity, and compromised health, with particular threats to the agriculture sector, where 70% of all child labor is located.

This issue paper addresses the twin challenges of child labor and education exclusion among indigenous children. The paper demonstrates that indigenous children face a higher risk of child labor than other children, and are often significantly over-represented in hazardous work and the worst forms of child labor. These children also face limited access to education, with particular limitations found among indigenous girls. Factors influencing this situation include land dispossession, climate change, migration, and constraints on traditional indigenous livelihoods

This study examines patterns in child labor, child employment and informality for 22 sub-Saharan countries using household survey data, seeking to understand descriptively the patterns in child labor, child employment and informality that are present in this data. This type of descriptive analysis appears missing in the literature, and it is hoped that the study will help frame the subsequent causal studies that will examine different ways to alter the patterns documented herein.

This study assesses the presence and characteristics of child labor in Kosovo's agricultural sector. The study also identifies working conditions and their impact on children's health and safety, as well as explores the barriers to education and opportunities for children engaged in agricultural work and proposes preventative and protective measures.

An infographic describing the DAR-CE Method, a training and awareness-raising method to prevent and eradicate child labor and its worst forms, based on the methodology of popular education and cascade training. The infographic explains this method and describes how it was applied to communities in the Dominican Republic.
