description:

Institutionalizing action against child labour (CL) under the umbrella of well-established entities and practices enables effectiveness and sustainability of ILO projects, as in the case of Nepal, where CL indicators were integrated in Labour Force Surveys and CL subcommittees were embedded in legally-established child rights committees. The National Labour Force Survey (NLFS) conducted by the competent authority – the Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) - was the only data source on labour force and used to include only a few paragraphs on child work. The ARC Project supported the CBS in having CL integrating indicators developed by the ILO in the NLFS questionnaires. This will produce data on CL every four years and help fill the country´s knowledge gaps on this issue. Similarly, the ARC Project institutionalized its declaration of Child Labour Free Zone approach with the establishment of the Child Labour Monitoring Subcommittee within the Legal Child Right Committee established under the Children Act, 2018.
