Micro factors inhibiting education access, retention and completion by children from vulnerable communities in Kenya
15 March 2010
This study situated formal schooling as a deterrent for child labour. While schooling keeps children off labour, both push and pull factors lead to a somehow systematic exclusion of vulnerable children. Understanding this exclusion process is rather complex, especially complicated by micro factors which may only be understood through extremely focused investigations.

Good Practices on the Elimination of Child Labour in Kenya
01 February 2009
The subject of child labour is a pressing socio-economic and human rights issue, as it is estimated that more than 218 million children worldwide are engaged in child labour (ILO, 2006). These children are deprived of adequate education, good health, and other basic needs. In economic terms, individual children pay the highest price of child labour, but communities and countries suffer as well.
