On the other hand, Eastleigh, regarded as the second largest slum in Kenya, had a population size of about 174,000 in 2012 according to UNHCR.15 In the slums, daily labour and street hawkers (casual and temporary, e.g. dumpsites for scavenging) are part of the livelihood opportunities.
The largest employers of child labour are street shops and construction sites.
UNICEF has been concentrating on providing access to better services for children in need of special protection, such as children with disabilities, children in conflict with the law, children involved in child labour and street children.

LITTLE love is lost between organised labour and Wall Street.
In 2004 Labour, on Downing Street's orders, rejected the Tomlinson report, which proposed to subsume A-levels into overlapping academic and vocational diplomas.

"There's a fight to be had," said one senior figure in the pro-UK group Better Together, as sources in Labour and Downing Street predicted their attacks on the yes campaign's economic and spending plans would now be stepped up.
The Health Select Committee launched an investigation a year ago after Labour MP Maryan Street delivered a petition to parliament requesting it, and are yet to report back.
