Synthesis Report: Child Labor Synthesis

Findings:
Conditional cash transfers (CCTs) reduced child work/child labor and improved school participation outcomes but the effectiveness differed by child characteristics and outcomes.
Unconditional cash transfers (UCT) reduced child work/child labor and improved school participation.
Training/TA programs may decrease child work/child labor and increase school participation.
Food programs had mixed impacts on child work/child labor outcomes but favorable school participation outcomes.
Only one high-rated study of a scholarship program had favorable impacts on child work/child labor and school participation outcomes.
The only high-rated study of an “other” intervention found improved child labor and school participation outcomes.
