EXCERPT FROM INTRODUCTION:

“In 2010, the Central Statistical Organization (CSO) of the Republic of Yemen conducted the National Child Labour Survey (CLS) in collaboration with ILO/IPEC, the Social Development Fund and UNICEF. Implemented as a stand‐alone survey, the CLS covered 9,571 households containing 67,617 individuals, 23,535 of whom were children between the ages of 5‐17 years. The CLS was designed to provide indicators on three main aspects of children’s lives: economic activity, schooling and unpaid household services (UHS). This report documents the findings of the CLS, in particular, the prevalence and characteristics of child employment and child labour, school attendance rates, the proportion of children engaged in UHS, and the possible consequences of employment as measured by schooling outcomes.”
