<br/><br/> This document presents the results of ILO research on the global magnitude of child labour. It introduces new global estimates for economic activity by children and child labour in the sense of ILO Conventions Nos. 138 and 182. It has also attempted to estimate the extent of children in hazardous work and other worst forms of child labour. The project on the new global child labour estimates provided an important input into two major ILO activities: (a) the drafting of the 2002 Global Report on Child Labour and (b) IPEC research on the economic costs and benefits of the elimination of child labour. The document is divided into three main sections. Section One presents the main findings; Sections Two and Three introduce definitions and methodologies. Data are presented in tables and charts. Some of the specific technical assumptions and harmonization techniques are provided as appendices.
