Exploited Teens in Asia — A Purposeful Monograph

Abstract

This monograph examines the exploitation of adolescents across Asian contexts: forms, scale, drivers, affected groups, legal and institutional responses, prevention and protection strategies, and recommendations for policymakers, civil society, and practitioners. It integrates cross-regional patterns while highlighting national- and community-level variation and evidence-based interventions.

Exploitation of teenagers can take many forms, including child labor, human trafficking, sexual exploitation, and online exploitation. According to the International Labor Organization (ILO), Asia is home to the largest number of child laborers, with over 78 million children aged 5-17 engaged in hazardous work. Human trafficking is also a significant concern, with many teenagers being lured into forced labor, sex trafficking, or domestic servitude. exploited teens asia top
