Abstract: The authors analyze child work in Zambia, applying two recent surveys, the Bank's Living Conditions Monitoring Survey (LCMS) of 1998, and the International Labour Organization's (ILO) Statistical Information and Monitoring Programme on Child Labour (SIMPOC) of 1999. The analysis aims at contrasting, and comparing findings on the incidence, and characteristics of the two surveys. The extent to which the findings are survey-dependent is assessed, and, implications for the design, and implementation for future surveys for the analysis of child work, is discussed.
