Annotated Bibliography of Studies on Girl-Child Labor in the Philippines
Year Completed: 2002

This is a compilation of 50 bibliographic entries of books, monographs, articles and other related literature on girl-child labor in the country, with brief descriptions of contents and findings. The references affirm the existence and magnitude of some of the worst forms of child labor in the country, specifically those involving girls.

 Vulnerable to physical, verbal and sexual abuse, girl-child workers were described to toil for long hours with low wages and precarious work conditions. Further, the interplay between and among migration, trafficking, the country’s population program, and the role of the family in the supply and demand of child employment is established from the materials cited.
