Dr. Rau was commissioned by the ILO to write this working paper, as one of the inputs into preparation of the ILO Director-General's report to the 2002 session of the International Labour Conference, under the follow- up to the ILO Declaration, entitled A Future Without Child Labour. Based on a review of the secondary information currently available, this paper sheds new light on the direct links between HIV/AIDS and child labour, as well on the common factors, driven largely by deep inequalities between social groups, which increase children's vulnerability both to HIV infection and to being draw into child labour, especially its worst forms. Hence the title of this Paper: Intersecting Risks.

Dr. Stephenson was commissioned by the ILO to write this Working Paper, as an input into preparation of the ILO Director-General's report to the 2002 session of the International Labour Conference, under the follow-up to the ILO Declaration, entitled A Future Without Child Labour. Based on the author’s own research, as well as secondary information sources, the paper reviews emerging trends and issues in child labour in the Russian Federation over the transition period. It highlights some of the key challenges to be faced, if vulnerable groups of children are to be protected from child labour, and particularly its worst forms, in a period of rapid and profound change in economic and social structures.
