Mapping of research on child labour in South Asia

Helpdesk Report
  • Dylan O’Driscoll
May 2017

Question

Who is carrying out or commissioning research on child labour in South Asia (both South Asian and International players) and what research are they doing?

Summary

This Help Desk Report aims to map out research on child labour in South Asia, specifically: Afghanistan, Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan, as well as Myanmar (Burma). The report focuses on major projects being carried out by international organisations with an examination of their expenditure on research, as well as local partners.  The report also highlights the research being carried out by local organisations and what their areas of focus and capacity are. Finally the report examines the key academics working on child labour and what their main focus is. The aim of the report is to create an understanding of who is conducting and funding research in South Asia and what their main focus is in order to highlight potential partners for future research projects.
