Facts on disability and child labour - a fact sheet

Few studies have explored the linkages between disability and child labour. Common wisdom, rather than empirical evidence, tends to shape policymakers’ views on the subject. This fact sheet is an attempt to summarize the data available, and provide an overview of the subject both from a global perspective and in the context of Indonesia in particular.

This fact sheet is organized in three parts: section I defines the terms of the discussion; section II provides some quantitative background with global and Indonesia-specific figures on disability and child labour; while section III focuses on the linkages between the two issues.
