  7. HIV/AIDS and child labour in Sub-Saharan Africa: A synthesis report. Paper No. 6

    01 January 2003

    This report draws together major findings from the four country RAs, placing them within a broader, state-of-the-art review of information from across Sub-Saharan Africa regarding what is known about the relationships between HIV/AIDS and child labour. The analysis provides the most complete review to date of available information concerning the impact of HIV/AIDS on child labour and the risks of HIV/AIDS infection for working children. Section 2 analyses the socio-economic context within which the HIV/AIDS pandemic and child labour must be seen. Section 3 discusses the evidence of linkages between HIV/AIDS and child labour, including that generated by the RAs. Section 4 summarizes the RA recommendations and provides suggestions for priority action. Appendices include additional information about the methodologies and approaches of the four country RAs and a summary of issues raised during an ILO/IPEC workshop in May 2003, at which the findings from the RAs were presented.

    01 January 2003

    This rapid assessment examined correlations between the HIV/AIDS pandemic and child labour in Zambia. The report aims at: assessing the extent to which HIV/AIDS has had an impact on child labour, both directly and indirectly; analysing the impact of HIV/AIDS-related child labour on the welfare of children in terms of their health, education, etc; assessing gender issues related to HIV/AIDS, as well as analysing the coping or survival strategies of girls and boys, including AIDS orphans; assessing the child labourers’ awareness and knowledge of HIV/AIDS; and generating data that could assist policy and intervention strategies on behalf of child labourers. This research was conducted in three provinces: Copperbelt, Eastern, and Lusaka. The sample included 306 child labourers: 211 boys and 95 girls in 5 to 16-year age group.

  9. HIV/AIDS and child labour in South Africa: A rapid assessment - The case study of KwaZulu-Natal. Paper No 4

    01 January 2003

    The study investigated the link between HIV/AIDS and child labour in South Africa, covering selected towns and rural areas in KwaZulu-Natal Province. This study aimed to determine whether there is a link between the HIV/AIDS epidemic and child labour, and to explore the family, community, gender and socioeconomic implications of this relationship. Study data, conclusions and recommendations are being made available to professionals in human services, with the following goals: generating more effective psycho-social interventions for families and girls and boys orphaned by AIDS; engaging in prevention, advocacy, and national/provincial strategies to alleviate socio-economic burdens imposed upon girls and boys by HIV/AIDS; and utilizing the data – in the context of children’s rights, socio-economic development, and fair labour practices – to protect girls and boys, moving towards the eradication of child labour, and setting up multidisciplinary, “child-friendly” programmes engaging health, education and labour issues in a holistic manner.
