GLOBAL |
Project Duration |
September 2005 – September 2008 |
Fiscal Year & Funding Level |
FY2005: $999,970 |
Problem to be Addressed |
Previous survey-based research on the unconditional worst forms for child labor (UWFCL) has primarily been descriptive and qualitative. Very little quantitative information on children in the UWFCL has been collected. The current project seeks to develop a sampling framework and methodology for estimating the incidence and distribution of these target groups at the national level. |
Project Objectives |
To contribute to the elimination of child labor, particularly the unconditional worst forms, through improvement of statistical estimates and quantifiable information for improved policy and program formulation |
Summary of Activities |
-
Review paper containing a critical appraisal of the findings on UWFCL;
-
Conduct 6 different pilot tests of draft methodology;
-
Finalize and disseminate SIMPOC methodology manual on the collection of data for estimating UWFCL.
