Survey on Child Labour in Agriculture in the Bekaa Valley of Lebanon: The Case of Syrian Refugees by Rima R. Habib
Publication Date: 2019
This report explores the experiences of child labour among Syrian refugees in the Bekaa Valley. The report is based on data collected on 12,708 refugees living in 1,902 informal tented settlements. These refugees are among the most vulnerable populations in the country. They experience poverty characterized by a lack of basic necessities and comforts, as well as hazardous living conditions. Financial strain and precarity are primary motivators pushing children in refugee families into work and out of school.
