Variable Group: Child Activities

Type

subject

Content

The child activities module, which was incorporated as the last section of the survey questionnaire, had canvassed information on the participation of children in both economic and non-economic activities. In addition information on working children was also collected by lowering the age cut off on questions on labour force status to 5 years and over. Thus, information on a wide range of child activities is available through the survey as data was collected using both currently active and usually active concepts of measuring employment. In addition data was also collected on child participation in non-economic activities including household chores. As already mentioned, the information from the child activities module will provide important information on the magnitude, nature and distribution of child labour as well as its determinants and consequences which should help in identifying the children who are at risk and require urgent assistance through measures for the protection of working children. ILO IPEC is assisting the NSO in analyzing the data from the child activities module and preparing a report. Therefore, only some material that will provide an overview of child activities and incidence of child labour are presented in the paragraphs that follow.
