Global research on child labour measurement and policy development (MAP) Project

The MAP project aims at building critical knowledge and capacity for accelerating progress against child labour in targeted countries by supporting data collection and analysis on working children, child labor, and child labor in hazardous work at a national level in 9 countries and at sectorial level in one country, while building the capacity of host governments to conduct future data collection, research and analysis in these areas; and at updating core indicators on children's work and education in approximately 100 countries based on the availability of new survey datasets.
