standard for child labour in the specific context of Cambodia. It aims to give an overview
of the measurement challenges encountered, of the empirical and other evidence that can
be used to address such challenges and of the implications in terms of child labour

The note is intended also to provide a technical background for the country consultations that UCW is carrying out to promote the discussion child labour measurement and to get feedback from national governments on the open questions.

This feedback will constitute a relevant part of the process leading to the draft resolution on child labour statistics that ILO will submit to the 18th ICLS in 2008.
