In Senegal, as elsewhere across sub-Saharan Africa, the population is heavily skewed toward youth; 50 percent of the country’s inhabitants are under 18 years of age (UNICEF, n.d.). Equally striking is that an estimated half of all children aged 5–14 years in Senegal are involved in “productive activity”—in other words, they work. Approximately 85 percent of this activity is nonremunerated family-based domestic labor and farm work. A recent study estimated that there are more than 450,000 economically active children in Senegal between the ages of 5 and 14 years, with half of those being under the age of 12 years (UCW, 2010).1 Among girls who are involved in some form of productive activity, 10.1 percent are estimated to be working as remunerated child domestic workers outside the home, a category of work that has been characterized as often qualifying under ILO Convention 182 as one of the least protected forms of child labor (e.g., Black, 2005).
