This book presents results of the research of child bonded labour in Nepal that was conducted in Nepal from April till July 2011.

It presents also the analysis of contemporary situation with child bonded labour in Nepal as well as of actions taken by the government of Nepal, international organizations (like ILO) and national and international NGOs to combat this problem. In the conclusion you can find some suggestions for raising the efficacy of actions against bonded labour.
