The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDG) aims to protect and eliminate all forms of child labour by 2025 (United Nations, 2018). According to the International Labour Organization (2002), roughly 19 million workers in tourism-related industries (15%) are children. However, limited research has investigated this topic because the voices of children, in general, have been neglected in tourism research (Poria & Timothy, 2014).

However, limited research has investigated this topic because the voices of children, in general, have been neglected in tourism research (Poria & Timothy, 2014). In response to the scant attention to child labour in tourism, we conducted a Systematic Quantitative Literature Review (SQLR) to map existing research on host-children who live and work in tourist destinations, in interdisciplinary literature (refer to Figure 1) in order to identify knowledge gaps in terms of the disciplines, themes, theoretical frameworks and geographical locations of existing research. The review also aims to reveal how and to what extent existing literature reflects host-childrens’ voices. This review is expected to shed light on host-children from an interdisciplinary perspective and provide directions for future studies on host-children.
