Methodology for categorizing child labor, forced labor, and human trafficking studies

This document describes the proposed guidelines for categorizing research on child labor, forced labor, and human trafficking. The objectives of this document are twofold: firstly to create a policy database that provides an assessment of individual causal studies of different programs, policies, or activities (hereafter referred to as an intervention) to connect causal research to policy and secondly to provide an assessment of quantitative assessment studies to be used in the country dashboard to help raise awareness about child labor, forced labor, and human trafficking at the country level. These descriptive studies could also be used as inputs for the identification of needs and gaps.
