Description

Definition

CHLHHWORKOTHRISK indicates whether the child household member selected for the child labor module (CHLHHINDEX) recently did work requiring exposure to other objects, processes, or conditions that pose a risk to health and safety. The meaning of "other" depends on specific work hazards identified in a survey.

This variable comes from a series of questions about possible hazardous conditions in children's work. If a "Yes" response was given for one of these hazardous conditions, questions about other hazards were not asked. Accordingly, the sum of all cases with "Yes" responses to any hazard identifies the total number of working children exposed to any (specified) hazard. This approach avoids double-counting working children but means one generally cannot identify multiple hazards in children's employment. However, a "yes" to this final question about other (unspecified) risks implies that the respondent said "no" to a list of other risks, such as carrying heavy loads, exposure to dust, and working in high places.

The information in CHLHHWORKOTHRISK is taken from the household record and applies to regular household residents, not temporary visitors. Researchers may wish to exclude visitors using the RESIDENT variable (with visitors coded "2") when women, children, or births are the unit of analysis, and using the HHRESIDENT variable when household members are the unit of analysis.
