There is limited information on the extent and nature of child labor in non-independent countries and territories eligible for GSP, AGOA, and CBTPA benefits. These countries and territories generally are not eligible to become members of the ILO, so ILO Conventions 138 and 182 do not apply to any of them.3775 Territories are subject to the laws of the sovereign country.
Because of extremely limited information, a determination was made that USDOL would publish full reports on 18 of the 19 territories covered in this report once every 5 years. For this reason, this report includes shortened profiles for these territories, containing only new information published during the reporting period. For extended profiles on these territories, please see The Department of Labor's 2005 Findings on the Worst Forms of Child Labor.3776 The next extended profiles on these countries and territories should appear in The Department of Labor's 2010 Findings on the Worst Forms of Child Labor.
During the reporting period, new statistics on education in Anguilla became available. UNESCO reports that in 2005, the gross primary enrollment rate was 91 percent and the net primary enrollment rate was 89 percent. UNESCO reports in 2004 indicate that the survival rate to grade 5 was 97 percent.3777
