This paper examines the link between school quality and child labour in cocoa agriculture, based on analysis of data from 2168 fifth-grade children from forty-one primary-schools in Côte d’Ivoire.

This study, published in the Bordeaux Economics Working Papers, compares two methods – direct questioning and list experiments - to estimate the prevalence of child labour in a sample of 4,458 certified cocoa farms in Côte d’Ivoire.

This research, led by UNICEF, examines the impact of the United Republic of Tanzania’s Productive Social Safety Net. The programme provides cash transfers, conditional to be used on health and education services, to extremely poor households.

This study explores the principal factors that lead to changes in farmer practices, with the objective of improving company interventions in the cocoa sector in Ghana and Côte d’Ivoire.

This paper steps back from dominant discourses around child labour, and examines how we can arrive at a more nuanced understanding of the forms, prevalence, drivers, and dynamics of child work - particularly work that is harmful. The authors aim to open space for new discourses, strategies, and interventions with which children’s harmful work in agriculture might be addressed.
