Introduction

The Sindh Child Labour Survey (SCLS) 2023 is the first child labour survey to provide district level results in the province. Earlier in 1996 a National CLS was carried out at provincial/territory level in Pakistan. The 2023 SCLS provides unique information about the living conditions of children in the province as well as their daily activities including schooling, working, household chores and leisure. The survey has a sample of 61,859 households, is representative of children aged 5–17 and covers 29 districts of Sindh for rural and / or urban strata.

The SCLS follows the methodology defined by the Statistical Information and Monitoring Programme on Child Labour (SIMPOC) for data collection and analysis.
