The surveys were implemented in the form of a module attached to the Labour Force Survey and followed internationally agree upon methods. Following each survey the National Statistics Office of Mongolia disseminated the results. As a result of these surveys, it was determined that there is a need to extend and create statistics on child labour with regular periodicity in order to develop policies and program to eliminate child labour and hazardous employment. In this context, the National Statistics Office conducted the Child Labour Survey for the first time in 2021-2022 as a stand-alone survey, according to the new methodology approved in 2018 with the financial and technical support of the Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work Branch (FUNDAMENTALS) of the International Labour Organization and the United States Department of Labour.\nThe survey's main objective was to generate quantitative data on the prevalence and nature of child labour according to the latest international standards, update the statistical database, and provide policymakers with the information necessary to develop policies and interventions to eliminate child labour.\nThere is no doubt that the results of this survey will provide essential information for policies aimed at eliminating child labour, including hazardous work, and practical support for policy development and implementation based on research and evidence.","nation":[{"name":"Mongolia","abbreviation":"MNG"}]},"method":{"data_collection":{"sampling_procedure":"The survey will be covered total households with children aged 5-17 in 21 aimags and 9 districts of Mongolia. The survey sampling frame will be prepared based on The Population and Housing Database of Mongolia (PHD) 2020 year-end data. At the end of 2020, 816.7 thousand children aged 5-17 live in 475.0 thousand households in Mongolia. Children aged 5-17 account for 25.1 percent of the total population, and households with children aged 5-17 account for 52.3 percent of the total households. The survey was designed at the household level and covered children aged 5-17 years. The homeless children, children who live in prisons, orphanages, and special care facilities have not been included in the survey. The desired ratio between survey sampling units and households, the survey unit was set up as 12 households and units as 1104. These more detailed sampling techniques enabled to produce estimates of working children by aimags, which was one of main advantages of this survey over the previous survey.","coll_mode":["Data collection for the survey began in October 2021 and ended in September 2022 and collected 12 month data. The supervisors and interviewers of the household-based survey data collection team of the statistical office in the capital and provinces carried out this survey data collection. The interviewers visited the selected households during the survey period and collected data on the members aged 5-17 living in the household. In doing so, for children aged 5-11, the interviewer collected data from a proxy respondent, meaning an adult member of the household, who could provide complete information about the child. This was done because children aged 5-11 may not have been able to understand the survey questions; children aged 12-17 were directly interviewed using Computer-Assisted Personal Interviewing (CAPI). However, if a child between the ages of 12 and 17 could provide data by themselves, an adult household member who could provide complete information about the child was interviewed."],"sources":[{"name":"","origin":"","characteristics":""}]}}},"schematype":"survey"}
