Understanding Children's Work Country Report in Bangladesh
The Government of Bangladesh has accorded the fight against child labour a prominent place in its national development agenda and has made a number of important commitments in this area. There is a wide range of on-going Government, bilateral, multilateral and NGO interventions of relevance to child labour in Bangladesh. But important gaps still persist. The critical challenge moving forward is to extend current efforts within a unified strategic framework to ensure that they effectively address child labour.
