Understanding Children's Work
The Understanding Children's Work project is an inter-agency research cooperation project at the Innocenti Research Centre between UNICEF, the ILO and the World Bank. One of the aims of the project is to disseminate information and encourage interaction among researchers, policy makers and civil society. The project also aims to share the wealth of information and research available from ILO, UNICEF and the World Bank with external researchers, policy makers and the public.
The International Labour Organisation (ILO), UNICEF and the World Bank initiated the inter-agency research project, Understanding Children's Work (UCW), in December 2000. The UCW Project is guided by the Oslo Agenda for Action, unanimously adopted at the 1997 International Conference on Child Labour, which laid out global priorities in the fight against child labour. The Oslo Agenda identified the need to improve data and information on child labour, and called for stronger international cooperation in efforts against child labour.
