Copyright, Statistics South Africa NADA International Programme on the Elimination of Child Labour (ILO) United States Department of Labour Manager, DataFirst Other Household Survey [hh/oth] v1: Edited, anonymised dataset for licensed distribution employment [3.1] working conditions [3.6] children [12.1] gender and gender roles [12.6] youth [12.10] time use [13.9] Statistics South Africa (Stats SA) was commissioned by the South African Department of Labour (DoL) to conduct the first Survey of Activities of Young People in 1999. Stats SA was responsible for data collection and processing, while the analysis and report writing was the responsibility of DoL. In thethird quarter of 2010 (Q3:2010) Stats SA conducted the second Survey of Activities of Young People (SAYP) as a supplement to the Quarterly Labour Force Survey (QLFS). However differences in methodologies followed in the two surveys make comparisons difficult. SAYP is a household-based sample survey that collects data on the activities of children aged 7 to 17 years who live in South Africa. This information is gathered from respondents who are members of households living in dwellings that have been selected to take part in the QLFS and have children aged 7–17 years. The survey covers market production activities, production for own final consumption, household chores as well as activities that children engaged in at school. The reference period for some activities is the week preceding the survey interview and for others it is the past twelve months. The specific objectives of SAYP are: • To understand the extent of children’s involvement in economic activities; • To provide users with statistics on the number of working children; • To supply information for the formulation of informed policy to combat child labour within the country; and • To monitor the Child Labour Action Plan of the Department of Labour based on the findings. South Africa The survey had national coverage The lowest level of geographic aggregation in the study is Province. Units of analysis in the study were households and individuals The sampled population was household members in South Africa. The survey excluded all people in prison, patients in hospitals, people residing in boarding houses and hotels, and boarding schools. Any single person households were screened out in all areas before the sample was drawn. Families living in hostels were treated as households. Sample survey data [ssd] The study examines both economic and non-economic work activities of children aged 7 to 17 in South Africa. The Survey of Activities of Young People (SAYP) involved two stages. The first stage involved identifying households with children aged 7–17 years during the Quarterly Labour Force Survey (QLFS) data collection that took place in the third quarter of 2010 (Q3:2010). The second stage involved a follow-up interview with children in those households to establish what kind of activities they were involved in and several other aspects related to the activities they engaged in. In Q3:2010, all the QLFS questionnaires were checked for any children aged 7–17 years using the question on age in the first part of the QLFS questionnaire. The screening process for the SAYP was performed to ensure that only households with eligible children were revisited. The non-response adjustment is done through the creation of adjustment classes. The adjustment classes are created using Response Homogeneity Groups (RHGs), where respondents have the same characteristics with non-respondents in the group. The response rate (which is the ratio of responses to all eligible units in the sample) is calculated within each class. The inverse of the response rate (adjustment factor) is calculated within each class, and the result is multiplied by the QLFS 2010 person's weights of the responding units to get the adjusted SAYP person weights for responding units. Children identified as ineligible for SAYP were not considered when calculating weights adjustment. In short, the weights of responding children are inflated to account for eligible children that did not respond during SAYP data collection. Face-to-face [f2f] The Phase one questionnaire covered the following topics: Living conditions of the household, including the type of dwelling, fuels used for cooking, lighting and heating,water source for domestic use, land ownership,tenure and cultivation; demographic information on members of the household, both adults and children. Questions covered the age, gender and population group of each household member, their marital status, their relationships to each other, and their levels of education; migration details; household income; school attendance of children aged 5 -17 years; information on economic and non-economic activities of children aged 5-17 years in the 12 months prior to the survey Phase two questionnaire The second phase questionnaire was administered to the sampled sub-set of households in which at least one child was involved in some form of work in the year prior to the interview. It covered activities of children in much more detail than in phase one, and the work situation of related adults in the household. Both adults and children were asked to respond. The data files contain data from sections of the questionnaires as follows: PERSON: Data from Section 1, 2 and 3 of the questionnaire HHOLD : Data from Section 4 ADULT : Data from Section 5 YOUNGP: Data from Section 6, 7, 8 and 9 The QLFS data were collected in the middle two weeks of the month throughout the quarter, while SAYP data collection was done in the last week of a month, also throughout the quarter. After the QLFS data collection, the District Survey Coordinators checked all the questionnaires for all persons eligible for inclusion in SAYP, and then the Survey Officers had to go back to those individuals and administer the SAYP questionnaire. It was preferred that children answered the questions themselves and alone, but in cases where this was not possible, they were interviewed in the presence of an adult (preferably the parent) and in some cases an adult would answer on behalf of a child. SAYP sample is a sub-sample of the QLFS, therefore there are several factors that can contribute to the difference between population aged 7 to 17 years reported in the QLFS and the population aged 7 to 17 years reported in SAYP. For example, some children who were identified during QLFS did not respond during the follow-up interviews. Users are therefore advised to compare QLFS Q3:2010 estimates with SAYP estimates with caution. The non-response adjustment is done through the creation of adjustment classes. The adjustment classes are created using Response Homogeneity Groups (RHGs), where respondents have the same characteristics with non-respondents in the group. The response rate (which is the ratio of responses to all eligible units in the sample) is calculated within each class. The inverse of the response rate (adjustment factor) is calculated within each class, and the result is multiplied by the QLFS 2010 person's weights of the responding units to get the adjusted SAYP person weights for responding units. Children identified as ineligible for SAYP were not considered when calculating weights adjustment. In short, the weights of responding children are inflated to account for eligible children that did not respond during SAYP data collection. The final SAYP weight assigned to each responding unit is computed as the product of the QLFS person weight and the non-response adjustment factor. The sum of QLFS person weight qualifying for SAYP (for both respondents and non-respondents, excluding the out-of-scope persons) must be equal to the sum of final SAYP person weight.
