Nigeria - Chilld Labour Survey 2000

The sampling designs for this survey facilitated the provision of estimates
at national, zonal, and to a reasonable extent, state levels. The sample
design of NISH was used for the household based component while area
sampling design was used for the street children component of the child
labour survey.
For the household based component of the survey, sixty enumeration
areas (EAs) were selected and sensitized in each state while thirty
enumeration areas were selected at the Federal Capital Territory (FCT),
Abuja. Ten housing units (HUs) were selected in each EA. Members of
households within the selected housing units were interviewed. An
estimated national sample size of 21,900 was anticipated, while a sample
size of 600 households was expected in each state, excepting Abuja with
300 households.
Purposive sampling design was used to obtain samples of 200 to 400
street children in three selected cities in each of the thirty- six (36) states
of the Federation. Valuable information obtained from members of the
National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) and others
facilitated the selection of street children in these cities.


There was a very high response rate in all the states. The response
rate for the whole country was 99.2 percent. The response rate in
individual states was above 90 percent with the exception of Kebbi
State, which had 88.7 percent response rate.
