The current report was developed under the aegis of UCW project activities in Cambodia. It provides an overview of the child work phenomenon in Cambodia- its extent and nature, its determinants, its consequences on health and education, and national responses to it. The report serves two important UCW project objectives in the country. First, it helps provide a common analytical understanding of child work, that can be used to inform the current activities of the three partner agencies and Government, and that can be used to develop joint interagency strategies for future cooperation with the Government in the field of child labour. Second, through close involvement of local counterparts in its development, the report contributes to a broader effort to build national capacity in analysing and using child work data for policy development. The statistical information presented in the review is drawn primarily from the Cambodian Child Labor Survey conducted in 2001 (CCLS, 2001). The review also draws on a number of smaller-scale studies, qualitative as well as quantitative, Government and NGO reports, agency documents and other information sources.
