Reducing the prevalence of child domestic servitude in Addis Ababa: Stakeholder and expert scoping study
Get PDFDomestic work is one of the most common forms of paid work among girls in Ethiopia, especially among the sizable number of girls who migrate from rural to urban areas. Child domestic work is not necessarily exploitative or harmful. Child domestic servitude, however, is characterized by exploitative and harmful working conditions, with children experiencing subjugation and intimidation. It’s typically characterized by excessively low or no salary, few or no days off, limited or restricted freedom of movement, and denial of a minimum level of privacy, safe living conditions, and health care. Through the Reducing the Prevalence of Child Domestic Servitude in Addis Ababa initiative, the Population Council and Freedom Fund undertook a scoping study to contribute to the design of a prevalence study of child domestic workers in Ethiopia’s capital. This report summarizes the qualitative findings from in-depth interviews with stakeholders and experts in the field of child domestic work in Ethiopia.

The Bronx Freedom Fund Evaluation
No full textAdvocates and policymakers across the country are calling for a reduction in the use of cash bail and pretrial detention, arguing that there are fairer and more cost effective ways to ensure defendants’ presence in court. Through a partnership with the Bronx Freedom Fund, Mathematica Policy Research will provide much-needed evidence about the effects of alternatives to cash bail. Established in 2013, the Freedom Fund is a nonprofit organization that pays low levels of bail for defendants accused of misdemeanors who would otherwise be detained because of an inability to pay. Through an experimental evaluation using rich survey and administrative data, accompanied by a streamlined process study, we will answer the central research question: How does access to Freedom Fund bail assistance affect client outcomes? The intervention will be considered successful if it is found to decrease misdemeanor convictions in the short run without increasing recidivism in the longer term. The experiment will provide evidence of the impact of a revolving bail fund and the potential impact of pretrial detention more broadly, to inform the design, adoption, and replication of bail policy reforms.
Update: In 2017, the Bronx Freedom Fund received a large infusion of philanthropic funding, enabling the Fund to serve the entire targeted population of indigent defendants in the Bronx. Because the fund is no longer over-subscribed, the randomized controlled trial originally planned is not feasible. Mathematica researchers approached other potentially interested partner cities about conducting such a study, but ultimately no city chose to participate. As a result, Mathematica Policy Research and the Laura and John Arnold Foundation chose to end the study
