Leaving No One Behind: Child Labour in Asia and the Pacific
UNESCAP
2025.01.10
This technical paper explores the SDG indicator 8.7.1 on the proportion of children aged 5-17 engaged in child labour. Applying the Classification and Regression Trees (CART) and the Dissimilarity Index (D-Index) methodologies to Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS) data, the paper comprehensively analyzes child labour in five selected countries in Asia and the Pacific, namely Bangladesh, Fiji, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, and Viet Nam. The analysis examines child labour both as a composite indicator and its individual components including economic activities and household chores. The results unpack the disparity in child labour prevalence by age, location, wealth, education, and administrative divisions in each country. This paper contributes to the LNOB agenda by presenting evidence from household survey data and a machine-learning model and informs evidence-based strategies to reduce child labour.
