Ethiopia child labour survey report 2001
2002
The 2001 Ethiopian Stand Slone Child Labour survey is the first of its kind to be conducted in the country. The need for the survey arose from the Government and other social partners' concern about the increasing number of children working in urgan areas as well as in the rural areas. Children are commonly involved in domestic chores, and are supposed to assist in manual labour in the agriculture sector such as attending domestic animals, weeding and harvesting. In the urban areas, children are often forced into labour due to a situation of persisting poverty, which requires all family members to contribute to household income. Some of the work in which chldren are involved are done under hazardous work environment. Therefore, the main concern is not on child work as such, but rather the concern is on those activities that are deterimental to children's physical and mental development.
