It analyzes how gender roles, still in force, largely determine the different characteristics and conditions that child labor acquires for girls and boys, and points out the information gaps to be filled in to prevent the exploitation of girls from remaining invisible, since In some cases, not even close people or people from the community itself recognize that girls are in a situation of child labor. This is so because they frequently perform domestic work for third parties, work in family businesses located in private homes or intensive domestic tasks in the home itself, which involve a series of different risks.  

Result of the implementation of a local proposal to accelerate the reduction of child and adolescent labor in the municipality of Tuxtla Gutiérrez, Chiapas, Mexico; first municipality in the country and in all of Latin America and the Caribbean to implement Phase II of the Child Labor Risk Identification Model (MIRTI). It offers a systematization of the stages of Phase II and the lessons learned in each of them. 

The MIRTI is a tool promoted by the Regional Initiative - with the support of the ILO and ECLAC - to accelerate the achievement of Target 8.7 in the countries of the region.

This document provides the main results obtained in Costa Rica through the application of the Model of Vulnerability to Child Labor, a tool promoted by the Regional Initiative -with the support of the International Labor Organization (ILO) and the Economic Commission for America Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) - to accelerate the achievement of Target 8.7 in the countries of the region. 

Infographic with the main events in the fight against child labor at the global and regional level.

Held from October 22 to 25, 2019 in Lima, Peru. This meeting managed to be a space for dialogue and exchange of experiences of the Network of Focal Points and specialists, specifically of the progress made in the implementation of Phase I and II of the Child Labor Risk Identification Model (MIRTI). In addition, it was possible to collect inputs associated with the results of the strategic planning 2020-2021, challenges and actions to strengthen the local response and ideas for the regional campaign for the International Year for the Elimination of Child Labor (2021).

Developed by the ILO and ECLAC, in collaboration with the Ministry of Production and Labor of the Nation (MPT) within the framework of the Regional Initiative for Latin America and the Caribbean free of Child Labor. It makes it possible to identify the risk of child and adolescent labor at the local level. The results for the 511 departments of the country show an average risk at the departmental level of 6.54%. There are 51 departments with high risk, greater than 8.8%.

Statistical tool prepared by the ILO and ECLAC, applied in Colombia by the National Planning Department (DNP). It makes it possible to identify: i) the departments and municipalities, and even individuals, with greater risks of incurring in child labor and ii) the factors that most affect this risk, in order to define which multisectoral actions are most relevant to interrupt the trajectory towards child labor. From the results obtained by the model, it was identified that of the 1,046 municipalities in the country, 188 present high risk, 456 medium risk and 402 low risk.

Document prepared as part of the results of the application of Phase II of the Child Labor Risk Identification Model (MIRTI) in the municipality of Tuxtla Gutiérrez, Chiapas (Mexico), aimed at the design, adoption and / or strengthening and implementation of local preventive responses to child labor. 

Informative document on the crises generated by extreme natural phenomena in populations, in particular in labor markets and in the dynamics of their most vulnerable members, including children and adolescents. The issue is linked to the earthquake that occurred in Chiapas in 2017 and to the increase in child labor in a situation of crisis and fragility. Likewise, it highlights the key role of the Child Labor Risk Identification Model (MIRTI) in determining the territories that require a differentiated intervention to mitigate the risk of child labor in disaster contexts. 

This document is part of the results of the application of Phase II of the Child Labor Risk Identification Model (MIRTI), a tool developed by the Latin America and the Caribbean Regional Initiative free of child labor, with the support of the ILO and ECLAC. Phase II corresponds to the design of local preventive responses and work is currently being done in Tuxtla Gutiérrez to design and / or adjust multisectoral interventions in the territory, with the aim of strengthening protection services against child labor and reducing the risks of exposure to children. boys, girls and adolescents.
