Synopsis

This policy analysis examines the conditions contributing to child labor in four countries. It proposes a new approach to eradication, starting with increased legal and social protection for working children and integrating school time into their routines. The policy aims to gradually shift from a work-school combination to full-time schooling as parental income constraints ease, advocating for joint support to home enterprises and enrollment incentives, particularly for girls.
