USDOL/ILAB Impact to Action

Release Event 

Join us for an ILAB Impact to Action Event, featuring the results of fourteen ILAB-funded randomized control trial impact evaluation studies looking at what works to combat child labor, forced labor and human trafficking!

The studies looked at varied government and non-government programs, including awareness-raising campaigns, girls' mentoring, scholarship and education programs, cash transfers and other income and livelihoods supports.  The evaluations look at these issues in: Costa Rica, Ecuador, India (2), Malawi (2), Nepal (3), Peru, the Philippines, Rwanda, Tanzania and Zambia.  Join the discussion as we bring together practitioners, policymakers, academics and students to share cutting-edge research and advances in this field.

Please view the agenda here.

Unfortunately no remote participation is possible.  Refreshments will be provided.

Background on ILAB’s Impact to Action event series: In 2015, the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of International Labor Affairs (ILAB) awarded about $11 million in randomized control trial impact evaluations (IEs) to better understand the effectiveness of government and non-government programs and interventions in reducing child labor, forced labor or human trafficking around the world. Between November 2019 and March 2020, all of the IEs will be completed, and their results will provide significant contributions to the global knowledge base. As the studies are finalized, we will feature the principal investigators in ILAB’s “Impact to Action” series of learning events, where stakeholders and colleagues will have opportunities to ask detailed questions and interact with the researchers. Please join us as we build a greater understanding of what works and what does not in our fields, and of successful strategies for influencing policymakers and practitioners to build better policies and programs on the results of rigorous research.
