This report presents the results from qualitative research on the motivation, perceptions, and experiences of female child labour monitoring agents in Côte d’Ivoire and Ghana.
This study aims to answer the following questions:
- Why are women more effective than men at identifying child labour cases?
- What special qualities do they bring to the job? What benefits do women get from doing this job?
- Why are there so few females doing this job, and what can be done to recruit and retain more female monitors?
The study also contains recommendations on a set of measures which have been piloted successfully in two cooperatives in Côte d’Ivoire to achieve a better gender balance within the team of CLMRS agents.
Read the full report to learn more about the conclusions and recommendations as a result of this pilot.
