Abstract
Child slavery, composed of child trafficking and the worst forms of child labour, is pervasive in West Africa today. Cote d'Ivoire, a West African country engaged in agricultural production, is a major destination for children to be trafficked and subsequently exploited for their labour. This project investigates how corruption, the abuse of public office for private benefit, enables child slavery to occur. In October 2007, data were collected through semi-structured interviews. Analysis indicates that corruption enables child trafficking, compromises victim protection, and allows for an environment of impunity to reign. Poverty emerges as a pertinent contributing factor to both child slavery and corruption, and dissent emerges regarding the actors responsible for exploiting children. It becomes apparent that corruption is not always needed to facilitate child slavery. This project highlights the need for holistic programming in fighting against child slavery, and recommends further investigation of certain aspects of corruption and child slavery in the West African region. --P.ii.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
