Description

CHLHHPAID indicates whether the child household member selected for the child labor module (CHLHHINDEX) worked at least one hour on some activity for which he or she was paid in cash or in kind in the past week.

The information in CHLHHPAID 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.

Comparability

CHLHHPAID has no comparability problems.
