Child labour in Fiji: A survey of working children in commercial sexual exploitation, on the streets, in rural agricultural communities, in informal and squatter settlements and in schools

A summary report of five child labour research surveys conducted in Fiji through the ILO International Programme on the Elimination of Child Labour (IPEC). The report provides an overview of the processes, key findings and recommendations of the surveys.

Child labour does not only prevent children from acquiring the skills and education they need for a better future, it also perpetuates poverty and affects national economies through losses in competitiveness, productivity and potential income. Withdrawing children from child labour, providing them with education and assisting their families with training and employment opportunities contribute directly to creating decent work for adults. The Consolidated Report of Child Labour in Fiji provides an overview of the processes, key findings and recommendations of the Child Labour Research Surveys, supported through the TACKLE Project, in five sectors in Fiji, including the Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children Survey, Street Children in Child Labour Survey, Child Labour Survey in Rural Agriculture Communities, Child Labour Survey in Informal and Squatter Settlements, Child Labour School-based Survey.
