Role of evidence based policymaking on child labour elimination policy 2010 for sustainable development
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: Governments are currently prioritized to establish robust legal and policy adaptation mechanisms to specify policy actions in order to address the wide-ranging effects of child labor. However, one crucial question is the extent to which this policy is backed by evidence. The effective way to create a responsive and flexible policymaking process is to critically assess the situation of evidence-based policymaking and determine the circumstances that allow it to be used effectively throughout the policy process. This study examines the state of EBP within Bangladesh's public policy sphere, using the National Child Labor Elimination Policy (NCLEP) 2010 as a case study. Applying Structural Equation Modelling and combining qualitative and quantitative methodologies, findings reveal that the Policy Implement Process has a positive impact on EBP in the setting of NCLEP, whereas the Public Policy Process and Institutional Framework have a negative impact. The findings are further supported by insights from focus group discussions and key informant interviews. Effective policymaking is greatly influenced by strong governance structures and rigorously developed evidence. In this regard, prioritizing stakeholders’ involvement and making evidence-based policy decisions are key to achieving the policy objective. The NCLEP is closely linked with Sustainable Development Goals, i.e., reduced inequalities, decent work and economic growth, peace justice.
