Child labour and working conditions in artisanal small-scale gold mining
Pre-KAP study on child labour and working conditions in artisanal small-scale gold mining
The Pre-KAP study is part of the CARING-Gold Mining Project, which seeks to mobilize stakeholders to address the issues of child labour and poor working conditions in artisanal small-scale gold mining (ASGM) in the municipalities of Labo and Paracale, Camarines Norte and T’boli, South Cotabato.
The overall objective of the CARING-Gold Project is to contribute to: (a) enhancing laws, policies and action plans to address child labour (CL) and working conditions (WC) in ASGM and ensure their enforcement and/or implementation; (b) improving access of vulnerable households living in ASGM communities to relevant social protection and livelihood programmes; and (c) developing and implementing mechanisms to increase monitoring of child labour and working conditions in gold mining supply chains, particularly ASGM.
