What this joins

US Department of Labor, Congressional Budget Justifications FY2017, FY2019–FY2027, Departmental Management. International Labor Affairs: requests, and the five-year budget activity history
US Government Publishing Office, Appropriations acts FY2015–FY2026. Appropriations acts FY2015–FY2026

How it was computed

Each fiscal year’s request is read from that year’s budget justification, and the enacted amount from the five-year budget activity history of a later one.

Amounts are ILAB’s whole activity appropriation, in US dollars, as printed.

What it does not show

ILAB’s whole activity appropriation (staff and grants), not child labour alone.
FY2018’s request was not read (its budget justification was not available to this analysis); FY2025 ran on a full-year continuing resolution.
An appropriation is not money spent: obligations by year were not read for this analysis.
