The Jamaica National Youth Activity Survey (JYAS) 2016 is the product of a partnership between the Statistical Institute of Jamaica and the International Labour Organization (ILO). It is the first stand-alone survey of children’s activities conducted nationally. The main objective of the survey is to collect comprehensive information on children’s engagement in economic activities. The JYAS 2016 report provides quantitative, reliable and updated statistics on working children, child labour, and hazardous work performed by children in Jamaica. Detailed in this report is statistical information on the demographic and socio-economic characteristics of working children aged 5 to 17 years as well as related information on the households to which they belong. The report includes an analysis of fundamental child labour-related issues, such as children’s involvement in economic activity, types and characteristics of child labour and children’s working environment. It also contains findings about children’s non-economic activities, principally school attendance and engagement in household chores.

Training module in the 3-R Trainer's Kit.  This module deals with household and family responsibilities, access and resources in the family. In the first unit participants will analyze the division of work and the distribution of resources among women, men, girls and boys in families. The exercises show how norms and values about gender and age influence the roles and responsibilities of everybody in the family and the extent to which different family members can access and control family resources and benefits. In the second unit, participants find out what forms of work are appropriate for children and can be considered as acceptable ‘child work’ and what forms of work harm their development and is ‘child labour.’ Participants will also realize what are main hazards for children, what are the worst forms of child labour and why these need to be abolished as a matter of priority.
