Abstract	This report describes a seminar designed to develop a better understanding of the problems and needs of working children and children living in the streets, to analyze policy and program experiences in working with such children, and to draft a set of recommendations to help improve the conditions of street and working children in the context of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. The report examines historical trends in child labor, the difficulty of identifying the number of street and working children, and the visible and invisible child work force. The report recommends that more be done to: (1) identify and reach children at risk, especially those in agriculture, domestic service, and in marginal activities; (2) maximize the opportunities for mobilizing partnerships and building alliances among families, communities, local organizations, and political leadership in an effort to transform the "enemies" of street and working children into allies and protectors; (3) develop relevant and cost-effective programs to meet the needs of such children; and (4) respond more adequately to the particular vulnerabilities of young girls who work. Three appendixes provide the text of specific recommendations, the seminar agenda, and a list of seminar participants. (MDM)
