That is clearly not enough, and while educational resources are scarce, the sex and child labor industry flourishes.
According to the U.S. Department of Labor report, "Incidence and Nature of Child Labor," published August 23, 2006, 44.8% of Cambodian children ages 5 to 14 years old were working in 2001 (notwithstanding the labor law sets the minimum age for employment at 15). The jobs held by children included agriculture (the "majority" of children work in the fields), "hazardous conditions on commercial rubber plantations, in salt production," in the fishing industry and in garbage collection. Not only are Cambodian children put into slavery for sexual services, the Labor report asserts that Cambodian children "are trafficked to Thailand and Malaysia" for sexual commercial exploitation or "bonded labor."
Meanwhile, the Asia Foundation (with funding provided by the U.S. Agency for International Development), published a "Review of a Decade of Research on Trafficking in Persons, Cambodia." In the report's Summary, the authors (Derks, et al., 2006) point out that figures on trafficking vary wildly, depending on the source; for example, one estimate in the late 1990s puts the number of trafficked women at 80,000 to 100,000 and the number of trafficked girls at 5,000 to 15,000.
The report, called "Survey on street-based Child Sexual Exploitation in Cambodia: Overview of 7 Provinces," notes that it is difficult to pin down specific numbers of trafficked children because "many studies group children together with some adults, namely women..." The report also concludes that there are no "specific studies on the involvement of criminal networks" trafficking in children; but in fact the numerous studies used in this report suggest that "family members, husbands, parents, neighbors or friends" - in greater numbers than organized networks of criminals - are more likely to be responsible for enslaving children in the sex industry.
As for the children of Vietnamese families living in the slums of Phnom Penh, another report, called "Chab Dai Phnom Penh" published a survey in May, 2006 (Reimer, 2006), which reports that "...nearly half of the families do sell a girl-child for sex." Interestingly, the research indicates that more families would sell a child "...as a one-off event for her virginity, than...

Cambodian Incursion represented a major turning point for American sentiment towards its participation in the Vietnam War (Nolan, 1990, p. xiii). Authorized by President Nixon, it was hoped that this offensive would secure the future of South Vietnam as a non-communist nation, but the strong negative reaction by the American public, towards what seemed to be an escalation, caught the administration off guard. However, many military strategists viewed the Cambodian
Education Over the last several years, the field of education has been continually changing. This is because the public is demanding greater amounts of accountability. For the Library and Media program, this means that there must be a focus on providing additional resources in an era of declining budgets. The key for dealing with these challenges requires that everyone have a sense of leadership and vision. To fully understand how these
Education As the educational system continues to come under increasing amounts of scrutiny, the teacher is ultimately at the fulcrum of pressure.
