Labor Force Survey [hh/lfs]
In 2000, the Federal Office of Statistics (FOS), in collaboration with agencies responsible for labour policies, standards and administration as well as child welfare, carried out a Child Labour Survey (CLS) as a module of the General Household Survey (GHS). The strategy of the programme was not only to collect, analyse, and disseminate the required statistical information on child labour, but also to build the in-country capacity of Nigeria to carry out child labour surveys at regular intervals in the future.
The lack of national, zonal and state statistics on various aspects, dimensions and trends in child labour have been considered as the major drawback in the prospects of implementing policies and enforcing extant laws to address this hydra-headed phenomenon. Although earlier studies and findings successfully galvanized interest in child labour and facilitated the mobilization of sections of the civic society against this problem, they were often either small scale, confined to particular towns and regions or restricted to specific groups of working children. The main purpose of the survey was the generation of valid and reliable quantitative and qualitative data on child labour for the development of effective child labour interventions and provision of important tools for designing, implementing and monitoring effective policies and programmes on child labour.

Sampling
For the household based component of the survey, sixty enumeration areas (EAs) were selected and sensitized in each state while thirty enumeration areas were selected at the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja. Ten housing units (HUs) were selected in each EA. Members of households within the selected housing units were interviewed. An estimated national sample size of 21,900 was anticipated, while a sample size of 600 households was expected in each state, excepting Abuja with 300 households.
A purposive sampling design was used to obtain samples of 200 to 400 street children in three selected cities in each of the thirty- six (36) states of the Federation. Valuable information obtained from members of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) and others facilitated the selection of street children in these cities.
The response rate for the whole country was 99.2 percent. The response rate in individual states was above 90 percent with the exception of Kebbi State, which had 88.7 percent response rate.

Each state had a supervisor attached to the interviewers in the state except Lagos state were there were more establishments to be covered hence, 4 supervisors were attached. The fieldwork was also monitored by NBS and EFCC Hqtrs staff. Monitoring exercise was carried out by 45 NBS Headquarter staff between 7th – 16th of September, 2007. At least one staff will monitored field work in a state for 10 days. Monitoring officers to brought completed records to NBS headquarters in Abuja. State officers monitored the field work in thier various state for 5 days. Zonal controller monitored the field work in at least two states within the zone for 10 days.
Training
Training was organised at the national and zonal levels for the personnel who participated in the main survey.
National training
The trainees at the national level consisted of three categories of officers whose roles were crucial to the successful implementation of the survey, namely: Trainers at the zonal level, fieldwork monitoring officers and data processing officers.
Zonal level training
The training was organized in six states, representing the six geopolitical zones of the country. The beneficiaries of the zonal training were field staff and coordinators of the Federal Office of Statistics (FOS) comprising of enumerators, interviewers, supervisors, state officers, zonal controllers and state statistical agencies.
Data collection (Team Arrangement)
The FOS permanent field staff that were resident in the enumeration areas were responsible for data collection during the survey. For the household component, each household head or a responsible adult in the household gave information about the household in general, while the children supplied information about themselves. For the street children component, the field staff, equipped with information obtained from members of NURTW and others, visited identified vicinities to locate and interview the children. The field staff consisted of enumerators, interviewers and supervisors. The field coordination team was composed of the State Officers and Zonal Controllers. The State Officer in each state coordinated all field operations, while the Zonal Controllers in each zone supervised and coordinated the states in their zones. The field staff in each state were constituted into three roving teams. Each team was made of two enumerators and a supervisor. A team covered 20 EAs in 40 days. In other words, 1 EA was covered in 2 days including inter EA travels. The same team of two enumerators and one supervisor also interviewed between 67-134 street children in each state in about 7-14 days. In other words, a team interviewed an average of 10 street children in a day.
Data processing
Data processing was done centrally at NBS Headquarters, Abuja. 30 Data entry staff and 15 Editors were engaged. Censuses and Surveys Program (CSPRO) was used for data entry. SPSS was used for final analysis.
The subject matter staff at the headquarters office carried out the manual editing of the completed questionnaires retrieved from the 36 states of the federation including FCT, Abuja. The manual editing was carried out in order to effect final corrections on errors detected on the completed questionnaires. Such errors included omission, inconsistencies, double entries, mpossibility as well as transcription and calculation ones.
The staff of Computer Management and Information Services (CMIS) carried out the entry of the edited questionnaires, running programmes to further detect inconsistencies and other related errors as part of final editing. Tables were produced from the analyses.
