A report examining the role that social protection policies -- especially those aimed at providing income security for households with children and adolescents -- can play in reducing rates of child labor.  

A report examining the role that social protection policies -- especially those aimed at providing income security for households with children and adolescents -- can play in reducing rates of child labor.  Examines regional differences in coverage by recent Universal Child Allowance policy.

This study seeks to understand, from a gender perspective, the ways that families' living conditions, the labor trajectories of adults, and the gendered division of labor in households influence the relationship to work formed by boys, girls, and adolescents (niños, niñas, y adolescentes (NNyA)), as well as  expectations regarding their future job opportunities.
