Helping hands or shackled lives? Understanding child domestic labour and responses to it

This report throws light on the phenomenon of child domestic labour, and on the actions that are being taken to respond to it. It brings together research undertaken by the ILO's International Programme on the Elimination of Child Labour (IPEC) and work done by other organizations in the field. It includes a number of case studies drawn from ILO-IPEC field work, and suggests possible future actions to be taken at all levels and by different players: governments, labour sector partners and NGOs.
