CAMBODIA CHILD LABOR SURVEY 2001
(CCLS 2001)

SAMPLING DESIGN

The sampling design of the Cambodia Child Labour Survey (CCLS) was based on the results of the General Population Census of Cambodia 1998. This survey was conducted on a nationwide representative sample of 12,000 households within 600 sampling units (villages) and targeted to children aged between 5 and 17 years old. The sample was designed to provide information on child labour for research in various fields of social and economic study.

SURVEY DESIGN

The sample for CCLS 2001 was a stratified sample selected in two stages. At the first stage, the villages (primary sampling units or PSU’s) were selected from the list of villages for every stratum within the domains listed in order of: province/city, district, commune and village. The method of circular systematic sampling with the probability of inclusion of a village proportional to its size (CSS-PPS) was used to select the villages.
