The Training Based on the Quality Job as Proposed by the TJCR Model: The FBPT-C is a tool that public policy actors can use to support vulnerable adolescents and children by providing them with training in personal, social and workplace skills.  

This Pre-Situational Analysis (PSA) report was conducted for the Reducing Incidence of Child labor and harmful conditions of work in Economic Strengthening initiatives (RICHES) project, funded in December 2017 by the U.S. Department of Labor, Office of Child Labor, Forced Labor and Human Trafficking. The RICHES project aims to integrate the issues of child labor alleviation and acceptable conditions of work (ACW) into women’s economic empowerment (WEE) initiatives and make available a toolkit for policy makers, financial service providers, and others whose work supports women entrepreneurs. The objective of the PSA was to better understand the intersection of child labor, working conditions for women, and WEE initiatives at a global level, as well as in the pilot countries of El Salvador and the Philippines, to inform the development of the toolkit, which will be pilot tested in the two countries, but whose intent is to be globally applicable. The PSA report summarizes the results of that analysis.
