Chilld Labour Survey 2000

Study Type

Labor Force Survey [hh/lfs]

Series Information

With the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding with ILO-IPEC in

August 2000, the Nigerian government increased its commitment to

programmes aimed at investigating and combating child labour. In 2000,

the Federal Office of Statistics (FOS), in collaboration with agencies

responsible for labour policies, standards and administration as well as

child welfare, carried out a Child Labour Survey (CLS) as a module of the

General Household Survey (GHS). The collaborating agencies with FOS

were the Federal Ministry of Employment, Labour and Productivity

(FMEL&P), and Federal Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Welfare

(FMWA&SW).

ILO carried out the training of relevant staff on survey methodology,

questionnaire design, data analyses and data base design and

management. Technical assistance was received from national and

international consultants in the areas of data analyses and report writing.

The strategy of the programme was not only to collect, analyse, and

disseminate the required statistical information on child labour, but also to

build the in-country capacity of Nigeria to carry out child labour surveys at

regular intervals in the future.

Overview

Abstract

The overall concern of the study was to obtain information, which can be

used to profile child labour, prioritize and monitor the worrisome problems

of working children.

The first specific concern was to determine the categories of the

economic activities of children in rural and urban areas and the sectors in

which they work in order to obtain valid profile. The survey was designed

to identify categories of child labour including unpaid family workers, paid

workers in agricultural sectors, apprentices, as well as nomadic activities

and household keeping activities of children.

The second concern was the determination of the conditions under which

children work, namely; regularity, time-demand, intensity, periods,

problems and hazards of work. Moreover, information was obtained on

the physical and social environment of work.

The third concern of the survey was to obtain information on the attributes

of children who carried out different categories of work such as age,

gender, socio-economic status and other circumstances of their families

as well as their ages at commencement of work and their educational and

health status.

The fourth concern of the study was to determine why children worked.

Importantly, the questionnaire items, which provided information on

household composition and demographic characteristics, yielded rich

information to determine the reasons why children work.
