01-May-2008

Publication : Report

The study is designed to describe the working and living conditions of children working in brick factories and the impact of child labour on child development. In addition, reasons for working, reasons for involving children in child labour, and reasons for employing children are documented based on the interviews with child workers, their parents, and their employers. The research sites are all brick factories in two districts in Battambang province: Battambang and Sang Ke districts, which are the surrounding areas of Battambang provincial city. Data were collected using interviewer-completed questionnaires from three main sources (132 child workers, 43 parents, and 15 brick factory owners or managers) from 26 brick factories.
