Child Labor Coalition

Child Labor Coalition is an American website which provides educational materials about children working in agriculture. It explains why many children work in agriculture and why it is so often unhealthy, socially isolating or harmful. Using some emotive descriptions, it describes what life is like for many of these children. It gives a good definition of what is child labour and what is not.

Understanding Children's Work

This site brings together research conducted by the International Labour Organisation, Unicef and the World Bank. Its objectives are "to improve child labour research, data collection and data analysis; to enhance local and national capacity for child labour data collection and research; and to improve the assessment of existing interventions in this field." The project encourages interaction between researchers, but also disseminates information to the wider public. There are several databases posted on the site, for example Child Labour Data Sets and Country Statistics.
