  4. Why to measure child labour? • Reasons: • Identify the magnitude of the problem as well as its characteristics • Evaluate impact of programs and interventions based on trends

  5. Data sources/methods • Administrative records • Population census • Household surveys • Other surveys

  6. The MICS3 approach • Estimation of indicator based on household survey data • Present results by background variables to localize the problem • Promote the design and implementation of further analysis of the main determinants of child labour to help the design of policies and the development of programs and interventions

  7. Child labour • Numerator: • Ages 5-11 • at least one hour of economic activity or • at least 28 hours of household chores per week • Ages 12-14 • at least 14 hours of economic activity or • at least 28 hours of household chores per week • Economic activity of children is defined as any paid or unpaid work for someone who is not a member of the household, or other family work • Denominator: All children 5-14 years of age

  10. Labourer students • Numerator: • Number of children aged 5-14 years involved in child labour activities (labourers) that attend school • Denominator: • Total number of children aged 5-14 years involved in child labour activities (labourers)

  13. Methodological issues • 28 hours as the cut-off for household chores • Gender issue • Shall we measure economic activity only? • Where do agencies (ILO and the World Bank) stand on the child labour problem? • Presentation of results for disadvantaged groups
