Advancing the Campaign Against Child Labor: The Resource Allocations of National
Governments and International Financial Institutions finds that most of these countries
dedicated a larger share of their central government expenditures to education than to the
military. In contrast, the report indicates that the multilateral development banks—the
World Bank, African Development Bank, Asian Development Bank, and Inter-American Development
Bank—invested a relatively small portion of their resources in these countries to basic
education and child labor.
The Labor Department’s International Child Labor Program reported data on education and
military expenditures from statistics compiled by the World Bank’s World Development Indicators
2002 and UNESCO’s Institute for Statistics. In addition, the multilateral development banks
provided data on their overall levels of funding to basic education and child labor programs.
