Advancing the Campaign Against Child Labor: Addressing the
Worst Forms of Child Labor evaluates various strategies to eliminate the
worst forms of child labor, such as bans on child labor, the rescue and
rehabilitation of working children, and the provision of income support to the
families of working children, and examines some of the issues that arise in the
development of such strategies.
The report also includes some examples of how strategies have
been implemented in actual projects in Costa Rica, Nepal and Nicaragua. The
report suggests that there is no one strategy or mix of strategies that is
appropriate or most cost-effective for addressing all cases of the worst forms
of child labor. Rather, strategies need to be designed according to the context
in which child labor is found. Critical factors include, but are not limited
to, the form of child labor; the wealth of a family or society; societal
attitudes toward discrimination, particularly based on gender; and, geography.
