The Understanding Children’s Work (UCW) programme is an inter-agency research cooperation initiative involving the International Labour Organisation (ILO), UNICEF and the World Bank.

UCW is guided by the Roadmap adopted at The Hague Global Child Labour Conference 2010.

The Roadmap calls for effective partnership across the UN system to address child labour, and for mainstreaming child labour into policy and development frameworks.

The Roadmap also calls for improved knowledge sharing and for developing further methodologies and capacity to conduct research on child labour.

UCW research activities are designed to inform policies that impact upon the lives of child labourers in countries where they are prominent.

Research efforts help provide a common understanding of child labour, and a common basis for action against it.

UCW research extends to a variety of policy issues associated with child labour, including education, youth employment and migration.

For further information on the UCW Programme, see the Programme information pamphlet and the newsletter.

It reviews the impact of interventions falling in six broad intervention clusters: (i) social protection, (ii) education, ...

Unpaid household services and child labour

The resolution on child labour statistics emerging from the 18th International Conference of Labour Statisticians (ICLS) call for the development of a standard methodology for estimating child labour at the international level, and the stu...

The NEET trap: A dynamic analysis for Mexico

Youth disengaged from both formal learning and work miss the opportunity to develop and grow at an age that heavily influences future outcomes. NEET status can permanently impair youth's productive potential and therefore influence lifetime patterns of employment, pay, and job tenure. After having analyzed the trends of the last decade in Mexico, we investigate whether being NEET represent just a transition phase in the youth's pathway from education to employment or it can be a condition i...
