- The aim of the study was three-fold: 1) to understand the complex working and living conditions of child domestic workers; 2) to address the vulnerability of children employed in the domestic sector; and 3) to explore the opportunities and benefits available for them in this environment. Moreover, the study provides first-hand baseline data on employers of child domestics, former and current child domestic workers and their families. It has inquired into the opinions of children, employers, recruiters and families who are impacted by child domestic labour.
