I choose the World Bank, because this institution can have a big influence on the global labor market, which can have an direct effect (positive or negative) on child labor, but also indirect effects, in a way that it influences the environment children grow up (education,...)

1.2            Global March Against Child Labor

http://www.globalmarch.org/march_links/index.html

A site with informative, but also activistic information, more on the emotional side.

Even though I was able to find link-lists, the one from Global March didnít quite work without hit&crawl.


1.3            UNICEF

http://www.unicef.org/aclabor/explore.htm

Considering explorational child labor being against the childrenís rights

3.1            Comments

It is interesting to note, that the more activistic organizations do not receive any links from the three startingpoints. Also these sites are not very interlinked, nor do they give many links to the network at all.

Sites made it in the network if they received at least two links from the pool or the startingpoints.

If only the netlocator is being used, if one has more then eight relevant sites, including the startingpoints, some members of the network might not receive links from the startingpoint, which will not be the case with the new version of the netlocator.
