The Formalization of Small Mining in Colombia: Experiences From  The Territory: The case studies compiled in this publication analyze the main challenges currently facing artisanal and small-scale mining in its formalization process in Colombia, covering different mining regions of the country, and addressing those challenges related to formalization that are more common in Colombia.

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.

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.

In the fourth quarter of 2015 the National Statistics Office of Georgia (GEOSTAT) conducted the National Child Labour Survey (NCLS) with financial and technical support of the International Labour Organization (ILO). The survey covered approximately 7,700 households with 5-17 year-old children. The survey is based on the UN Convention on the rights of the child and the ILO Fundamental Conventions on prohibition and elimination of child labour. The objective of the NCLS 2015 is to assess the situation, scope, causes and consequences of child labour in Georgia.

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.
