REPORT

This study examines patterns in child labor, child employment and informality for 22 sub-Saharan countries using household survey data, seeking to understand descriptively the patterns in child labor, child employment and informality that are present in this data. This type of descriptive analysis appears missing in the literature, and it is hoped that the study will help frame the subsequent causal studies that will examine different ways to alter the patterns documented herein.
