ILO-IPEC interactive tools in sampling with household-based child labour surveys

The set of interactive tools are designed to support the procedures for sample design, sample selection, sample weights and sampling errors arising from the use of probabilistic samples. For each topic there is an Excel sheet structured around inputs values that users are required to specify and output values automatically calculated by means of integrated formulas and intermediary calculations. Each Excel sheet has an associated user instructions explaining in detail their use and providing numerical examples for users to practice.

Resolution to amend the 18th ICLS Resolution concerning statistics of child labour

Adopted by the 20th ICLS (2018), this resolution sets standards for the collection, compilation and analysis of national child labour statistics, to guide countries in updating their existing statistical system in this field, or to establish such a system. The standards should also help to facilitate the international comparability of child labour statistics by minimizing methodological differences across countries.

Decent Work and the Sustainable Development Goals: A Guidebook on SDG Labour Market Indicators

This Guidebook provides a detailed overview of the labour market indicators included in the Sustainable Development Goals Global Indicator Framework. It is intended to serve as a manual of best practices for calculating and interpreting the SDG labour market indicators, with a view to monitoring progress made at the national and international levels towards the achievement of the SDGs.

Sampling elusive populations: Applications to studies of child labour

This Manual complements the earlier volume on Sampling for household-based surveys of child labour brought out by within the framework of the ILO-IPEC Statistical Information and Monitoring Programme on Child Labour (SIMPOC) and contributes to survey methodology that goes beyond the particular subject of child labour. Thus, anyone interested in issues and practical solutions to problems such as sampling from imperfect frames or sampling difficult populations would benefit from the contents of this Manual.

Hard to see, harder to count: Survey guidelines to estimate forced labour of adults and children

These guidelines have present specific guidance and tools for the design, implementation and analysis of quantitative surveys on forced labour of adults and children. The pilot surveys conducted by the ILO and its national partners revealed both the strengths and limitations of the tools proposed. The high quality of the results obtained, however, demonstrated the potential of the innovative methods used, which complement the more widespread use of qualitative data collection methods in this field.

Sampling for household-based surveys of child labour

This manual presents a wide range of sampling techniques for household-based child labour surveys with a particular emphasis on sampling design and selection procedures. It is meant to assist survey professionals in statistical offices, universities and research organizations. Many of the concepts and approaches introduced by the Manual are illustrated with examples from SIMPOC child labour surveys conducted in all major world regions.
