Abstract
We analyse child work in Zambia applying two recent surveys, the LCMS 1998 (World Bank) and the SIMPOC 1999 (ILO). 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.
