Global Research on Child Labor Measurement and Policy Development (CLMaPD)

The CLMaPD project contributes to the IPEC's wider strategy of using information to guide actions against child labor to achieve the complete elimination of the worst forms of child labor. In particular it will serve as an integral part of the strategic plan called for under the Roadmap and under the ILO's Global Action Plan to improve child labor statistics and knowledge as a way to assist countries in their work to design comprehensive strategies to address child labor. Project support will focus on (a) data collection and analysis on working children, child labor and hazardous work at national level in 9 countries and at the sectoral level in one country, while building the capacity of host governments to conduct future data collection, research and analysis in these areas in the future and (b) updating statistics for core indicators on children's work and education in approximately 100 countries. The ten countries where the project will support the local governments in collecting the data on child labor are: Ethiopia, Armenia, El Salvador, Georgia, Jamaica, Malawi, Morocco, Peru, Tanzania and another country to be identified in discussion with the USDOL. The project is funded by the US Department of Labor. It will be implemented for 48 months with a budget of USD 7,000,000.
