Research on child trafficking.pptVIP

Large scale surveys on CL are normally done by NIS through standardized approach with ILO SIMPOC technical assistance. Until recently, only in a few countries do these surveys include Qs on CL. That is now changing. We are trying to work towards a standardization of Qs on migration/mobility to include in large scale CL surveys, with a view to better insights into the link between migration and child labour. It is recommended that a variety of policy field and related applied research do include attention to migration in future research endeavours. [comments from Elisa - STAT] 1 Different types of sample surveys can be developed to produce relevant statistics, including household surveys, establishment surveys and point of transit surveys. These have different sampling and observation units and thus, can be used to produce statistics for different target populations. The point of transit surveys are particularly useful to measure intensity of migration flows across regions or borders and specially important to produce statistics on border/frontier migrant workers . 2 Ensuring that the migration angle is included would involve including as an explicit measurement objective of the survey the production of estimates of internal/international migration and/or of characteristics of the population by migration status. That means, that the sample should be designed to produce reliable estimates for this topic. Without a sample design that targets the migrant population, the results will very likely not be adequate to produce statistics on migrant workers, as in general, migrants form only a small part of the population rare population and tend to be geographically concentrated. In addition, for household surveys, there will be a need to also sample collective living quarters, including worker camps. Else, the resulting statistics will only refer to migrants living in private households. Inclusion of questions to establish the migration status of the popula
