Advancing the Campaign Against Child Labor: Efforts at the
Country Level identifies 33 countries in which the problem is present and
documents the laws, policies and programs adopted by those countries to combat
abusive child labor. The countries profiled in the report reflect various
levels of economic development and a wide range of efforts to address the
problem of child labor.
The report also includes information on the economically active
population, unemployment rates, education, and government expenditures on the
military, health and education in each country. The bureau's International
Child Labor Program collected data from a wide variety of sources, including
the State Department, U.S. embassies and consulates, foreign governments,
nongovernmental organizations and international agencies. In addition, bureau
staff conducted field visits to many of the countries covered in the report.
