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.

Assessment of implementation and enforcement machinery to combat child labour in Jamaica: Summary Report
01 February 2010
The incidence of child labour in Jamaica, as legally defined, is relatively low for developing countries. However, at least 11.6% of 15-17 year-olds are involved in economic activity, usually of a hazardous, low-wage character. This results from a disjuncture between the maximum age limit at which basic education is provided - Grade 9, or about age 16 - and the age of adulthood.
