FORWARD
Child Labour Survey (CLS) was one of module in the Integrated Labour Force Survey (ILFS)
which was conducted in 2014. This is the second CLS to be conducted in Zanzibar. The first
comprehensive CLS was conducted in 2006 as a module in ILFS.
All children aged 5 to 17 years from all selected households were interviewed using the child
work questionnaire. A child is considered as doing child labour if the work deprives the child of
its childhood, potential and dignity and if it is hamful to his/her physical and mental
development. Children who lack support from their parents or relatives have high probability of
being engaged in child labor, although some of them are doing it as a hobby. Some of the
children are doing child labour without themselves or their parents knowing that they are in child
labor because child labour also is measured on age of a child and hours of work.
According to this survey, 25,803 children are engaged in child labour especially in agriculture
which constitutes 49 percent of total children. This report discussed not only child labor but also
information on working children in non economic activity, working in household chores and
their relationship to school attendance. The survey also provide core indicators od child labour.
The information obtained will support planning, policy formulation as well as monitoring and
evaluating of national and international development programmes including Zanzibar
Economic and Social Transformation, Zanzibar Development Vision 2020 and Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs).
The survey was conducted by Office of the Chief Government Statistician (OCGS) in
collaboration with the Ministry of Labour, Empowerment, Elders, Youth, Women and Children..
Many thanks are extended to Development Partners especially the World Bank (WB) through
the Tanzania Statistical Capacity Building Program (STATCAP) for financial support in

CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background
The 2014 Child Labour Survey (CLS) is the second of its kind to be conducted in Zanzibar. The
first survey was conducted in 2006.
Children who are engaged in child labour miss many opportunities including of having quality
education. Education is a key tool of resulting children in child labour. Children who do not have
access to quality education often find themselves engaged in the labour market where they are
some times forced to work in dangerous and exploitative condition.
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Goal 4 state ‘Ensure inclusive and equitable quality
education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all’. Children are part and parcel of
this goal. Therefore, children are supposed to attend school regularly and not engaging in any
type of work which can lead them into child labour
The 2014 Zanzibar child labor report, is the product of the collaborative effort involving the
Office of the Chief Government Statistician (OCGS) and Ministry of Labour, Empowerment,
Elders, Youth, Women and Children (MLEEYWC). The OCGS was the key actor of this survey.
The role and responsibility of the office was to ensure that reliable data was collected and
fundamental principles of official statistics were followed. Quality control team made an effort
to make sure that, the data collected meet all standard and procedures recommended by ILO. The
Labour Commission which is under MLEEYWCparticipated fully in guiding the policy
concerning the child labour as mentioned in Conventions and Regulation recommended by ILO.
This survey will update the existing information on child work and child labour imanging in the
2006 CLS. It will serve to evaluate the SDGs and related indicators and also helps policy makers
and planners to their daily work.
The report will be used by the government to monitor and evaluate the programs that aim at
eliminating and preventing child labour.
2 | C H I L D L A B O U R R E P O R T
The World Bank (WB) provided financial supports for conducting Child Labour Survey through
its basket fund of Statistics Capacity Building in Tanzania (STATCAP). The International
Labour Organization (ILO) played important part in providing technical support especially in
data analysis and report writing.
1.2 Objectives of Conducting Child Labour Survey
The main objective of this Child labour Survey was to provide up-to-date information needed by
the Government and other stakeholders on human and working activities performed by children.
Specific objectives are to:
1. Estimate the number of children aged 5-17 years who are employed by sex, age-group,
and educational status.
2. Provide up-to-date information for assessing the Child labour
3. Provide the benchmark data needed for monitoring progress on child labour policies and
programmes.
4. Provide current child labour indicators for Zanzibar
5. Identify the social and economic causes and consequences of child labor
6. Asses the nature and extent of child labour
7. Improve the information based on child labour

CHAPTER TWO: NATIONAL CONTEXT
2.1 Introduction
This chapter privides analysis of the child labour situation. Its important to understand the
general population since it provides the basis for understanding the contex in which the labour
takes place. It also discusses the situation of the population including the social, economic and
demographic characteristics of the households.
2.2 Demographic Structure
According to 2014 ILFS, Zanzibar population was approximately 1.4 million with almost half
(49.7 percent) of the population under 18 years. The proportion of the children below 18 years is
equal between boys and girls. More than half (53 percent) of the rural population is under 18
years with almost equal proportion of boys and girls, while in urban areas less than half (46
percent) of its population is under 18 years (Table 2.1).
Children age 0 - 4 years accounted for 16 percent of the population; 5 - 17 years, 33.7 percent
and 18 years and older 50.3 percent. The median age of the Zanzibar population is 18 years.

2.3.3 Labour Force Participation Rate for Persons Aged 15 years and Above
The labour force participation rate determine the size and composition of a country’s human
resources and is a measure of the proportion of a country’s working-age population that engages
actively in the labour market either by working or looking for work. According to the 2014 ILFS,
the total labour force participation rate of Zanzibar was 79.4 percent.The participation rate in
rural areas was higher (83.8 percent) compared to urban areas (74.1 percent). The Labour force
participation rate for boys (83.8 percent) is higher compared to girls (75.1 percent).
2.3.4 Employment by Major Economic Sectors
Service sector employs the large proportion of work force (44 percent), followed by Agriculture,
hunting and forestry (40.6 percent), while manufacturing is the sector that employs a small
proportion (15 percent) of the total employed persons.
2.3.5 Importance of the Informal Sector
The informal sector contributes extensively to the economy of Zanzibar. This sector provides
economic opportunities to those who are unable to compete in the formal sector. According to
2014 ILFS, 200,802 persons in Zanzibar were engaged in the informal sector equivalent to 38
percent of the employed population. Equal proportions between sex at national level, urban and
7 | C H I L D L A B O U R R E P O R T
rural areas is observed. Majority of informal sector operators are engaged in manufacturing (21
percent), wholesale and retail (29 percent) and accomodation and food services (20 percent).
2.4 Poverty and Inequality
Preliminary report of Household Budget Survey (HBS Report, 2016) places the basic needs
poverty line at TZS 53,377 per adult equivalent per month and food poverty line at TZS 38,070
per adult equivalent per month. Using these two poverty lines, 30.4 percent of the Zanzibar
population falls below the basic needs poverty line and 10.8 percent falls below the food poverty
line. The Gini coefficient stands at 0.30 suggesting a moderate distribution of wealth in Zanzibar.
There is more inequality among the individuals in urban areas (0.31) compared to rural areas
(0.27).
According to ILFS 2014 the mean monthly income of paid employees was TZS 291,901 with
male having higher average monthly income of TZS 316,089 as compared to female that was
TZS 234,822. (ILFS Report, 2016)
2.5 Efforts to Fight Child Labour in Zanzibar
A notably progress has been achieved in fighting against child labour in Zanzibar. The first main
effort was to ratify all important conventions relate on fighting against child labour. Zanzibar as
part of the United Republic of Tanzania, has ratified the Convention on the Rights of the Child
(CRC), the ILO Convention no. 182 of 1999 on the Elimination of the Worst Forms of Child
Labour and Convention no. 138 of 1973 on the Minimum Age for Employment.
The second effort was to domesticate related international conventions in Zanzibar laws
including labour laws such as employment Act No. 11 of 2005 and child Act No. 6 of 2011.
Those mentioned laws prohibit child labour in any form. Another effort was to mainstream in the
national policies and programmes like Zanzibar Strategy for Economic and Social
Transformation and Employment Policy.
In addition, the Government, in consultation and collaboration with other stakeholders and social
partners has formulated a seven year Strategy for the Elimination of Child Labour 2009 - 2015.
Children are also withdrawn from work and sent back to school, provided with education
8 | C H I L D L A B O U R R E P O R T
facilities including books and uniforms. Families with children engaged in work activities are
supported by providing them with alternative income opportunities; for those at-risk were
prevented from becoming child labourers. Awareness has been raised, civil society has been
mobilized and monitoring visits are carried out.
2.6 Legal Instruments on Child Labour
Legal definitions of child labour contained in national legislation and in international labour
standards are the starting point for statistical definitions. Those legal frameworks provide the
essential legal basis for all national and international actions related to child labour. The
statistical measurement framework for child labour is structured around two main elements
namely the age of the child and productive activities by the child including their nature,
conditions and duration of engagement.
2.6.1 International Labour Standards
During the data analysis of this report, the review was made on the principal international
Conventions on child labour including the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child
(UNCRC) of 1989; the ILO’s Minimum Age Convention, 1973 (No. 138) and the ILO’s Worst
Forms of Child Labour Convention, 1999 (No. 182). Those mentioned international instruments
have been ratified by the United Republic of Tanzania. Also the Resolution concerning statistics
of the Eighteenth International Conference of Child Labour Statisticians (ILO, 2008) was
reviewed.
2.6.2 National Legislations
The National Legal Framework regarding children’s fundamental rights and particularly,
legislation aimed at eliminating child labour were also reviewed during data analysis. This is
usually found in the National Constitution, Employment Act, Children's Act and educational
policies.
2.7 Child Labour Measurement Framework
In Zanzibar, the Employment Act No. 11 of 2005 asserts that a child is a person under the age of
17 years. According to the Zanzibar Children’s Act No. 6 of 2011, the minimum age for
employment or engagement in work of a child shall be 15 years. However, for the purpose of this
9 | C H I L D L A B O U R R E P O R T
survey (CLS 2014) and the prevention of children working in hazardous sector, a child is
defined as a person under the age of 18 years. The analysis of Child Labour will be made within
the specified age groups of 5 – 11; 12 – 14; and 15 – 17. Child labour involves work that
deprives children of the right to enjoy their childhood and places them in work that is harmful to
their physical and or mental development. The Worst forms of Child Labour, as far as the ILO
Convention No 182 of 1999 is concerned, encompasses things like slavery, commercial sex, drug
trafficking and all types of hazardous work that endanger children’s health, safety, social and
moral development and contribute to children’s human rights abuses. In this Report, the Worst
form of Child Labour was not covered due to difficulties on statistical measurement
technicalities.
2.8 Estimation of Child Labour
Child labourers can be grouped in mutually exclusive categories according to the type and
conditions of their work. This categorization provides a distribution of child labour in which
children are counted only once, even if they face multiple risks. In this report the analysis
follows also the approach contained in the Global guidelines for child labour statistics set out in
the Resolution concerning statistics of the Eighteenth International Conference of Child Labour
Statisticians, 2008. As worst forms of child labour other than hazardous work are not captured by
household-based child labour surveys, this component of child labour will not be included in the
estimates of child labour.
Child labour classification process for statistical measurement includes:
1. Hazardous work:
All children aged 5-17 working in designated hazardous industries (mining and
quarrying, and construction);
Among working children aged 5-17 not working in hazardous industries, those who are
working in designated hazardous occupations;
Among working children aged 5-17 not working in hazardous industries nor in hazardous
occupations, those who are working for long hours (43 hours or more per week);
Among working children aged 5-17 not working in hazardous industries, hazardous
occupations and not for long hours, those who are working under hazardous conditions.
10 | C H I L D L A B O U R R E P O R T
2. Child labour other than hazardous work:
All children aged 5-11 that are not in hazardous work;
All children aged 12-14 that are not in hazardous work and work for 14 hours or more
(not in light work).

CHAPTER THREE: METHODOLOGY
3.1 Introduction
This chapter summarizes the survey methodology and data collection exercise, it also present
information such as the scope and coverage of the survey, questionnaire design, sampling design
and implementation, pre-test and pilot test, field work, data processing, response rates and
weights, lessons learned and limitations of the survey.
3.2 Scope and Coverage of the Survey
For the purpose of child labour survey, respondents were persons aged 5 to 17 years living in
selected households. The children interviewed were usual residents in the selected household or
if a child reside in the household for three month or more. The child labour survey is one of the
modules of integrated labour force survey.
3.3 Questionnaire
The questionnaire was classified into four modules namely Labour force, informal sector,
working children and time use.
The Labour Force module consists of two forms, LFS 1 and LFS 2. The LFS 1 which was
administered to the head of household as representative of all members consists a list of usual
residents and visitors, household economic activities, income, household amenities and
community services.
The LFS 2 was an individual questionnaire for each member of a household aged five years and
above and consists of questions based on usual economic activities, current economic activities,
unemployment, main economic activities, hours worked and income.
The informal sector module is a part of LFS 2. It was identified through filtered questions
including registration of the business, number of employees and record keeping or books of
accounts. The eligible persons for this module was the persons who own the business only.
The working children module was administered for children aged 5 to 17 years in the survey.
This module includes questions on economic and non economic activities perfomed by children,
13 | C H I L D L A B O U R R E P O R T
school attendance and hours of work, health and safety aspect of working children and children
perception.
TIME USE
The respondents of this module were persons aged five years and above. It captures the time use
of activities performed by one selected persons in each household.
3.4 Sampling Design and Implementation
The 2014 ILFS was designed from the frame of the 2012 Tanzania Population and Housing
Census (TPHC, 2012). Three stage of stratified sample was used where by the first stage
included the selection of 290 Enumeration areas which are representative at National, Urban -
Rural and Regional level. The second stage involved the selection of 24 households from each
enumeration area and the third stage used Kish grid approach for the selection of a respondent in
time use questionnaire.

PRE-TEST
The pre-test of CLS, as a module, went together with the pre-test of ILFS. The pre test was
conducted in Morogoro (March, 2013) for both rural and urban areas. Kiswahili questionnaire
was used and the objectives were to test and verify the logic and flow of questions. The pretest
also intended to identify the ability of respondents in understanding the questions. On average
each person required to interview two households in rural areas and two in urban areas. After this
exercise the team discussed the challenges and solutions from the field. The exercise was
successful and small modification of questionnaire (especially in skipping patterns) was done
accordingly. The instruction manuals for enumerators and supervisors were then developed.
PILOT TEST
Pilot test was carried out to test the questionnaire and all the survey logistics if they meet the
intended standards. It was conducted from July to August 2013 in two regions of Zanzibar (Mjini
Magharibi and Kusini Pemba). The purpose was to test overall survey organization, including
transport logistics, time taken to interview a household, quality of data, editing and coding, and
some of the table were produced to check the program.
3.5 Training of Enumerators and Supervisors
The training was divided into two stages. The first stage was the training of trainers which was
conducted at national level where by members of technical working group from OCGS and the
MLEEYWC attended and the second stage was training of supervisors and field enumerators.
The training was conducted in two zones Unguja and Pemba Island. The method of training
included classroom lectures, test and mock. After classroom exercise the trainees went for field
practical. This helped the trainers to assess the trainees in both theory and practical.
FIELD WORK
The field work started immediately after training. The supervisors and enumerators were
distributed for their areas for field work.
Majority of the field staff had already attended at least one survey conducted by OCGS. There
were 79 enumerators and 17 field supervisors which make an average of five enumerators per
supervisor. This number was sufficient enough to minimize error during field work. The
15 | C H I L D L A B O U R R E P O R T
supervisors went through the filled questionnaires and sometimes randomly selected the filled
questionnaire and back to the household for re – interviewing in order to manage the quality of
the data. Addition to that, the team of three quality control personel was assigned and
participated fully during field work for assuring the quality of the data collected.
Household interviews were conducted in quarterly basis which led all seasonal activities to be
included. Well designed questionnaires were used to collect information from households and
the enumerators were checking the filled questionnaires before living to the interviewed
household as they were instructed. For any missing information or inconsistencies, enumerators
were asked to return to households for clarification. A completed questionnaire from
enumerators were submitted to field supervisor who submited them to regional supervisor for
further checking and handling to the office.
DATA PROCESSING
Data processing started when regional supervisor submitted questionnaires to manual editors.
Questionnaires were checked for their identification, relavence and consistency of information;
they were further coded using Tanzania Standard Classification of Occupation (TASCO) and
International Standard of Industry Classification Revision 4 (ISIC Rev.4) specifications.
Data was captured using Census and Survey Processing (CSpro) and analysed using Statistical
Package for Social Scientists (SPSS) softwares.
3.6 Sampling and Sample Weight
For the sample estimates to be representative to the total population, it is necessary to multiply
the data by a sampling weight, or expansion factor. Principally the basic weight for each sample
household is equal to the inverse of its probability of selection (calculated by multiplying the
probabilities at each sampling stage). The sampling probabilities at each stage of selection were
maintained in an Excel spreadsheet with information from the sampling frame for each sampled
EA so that the overall probability and corresponding weights were calculated. The basic
sampling weight, or expansion factor, is calculated as the inverse of the probability of selection.
The weight can be expressed as follows:
16 | C H I L D L A B O U R R E P O R T
hihih
hihhi
mMn
MMW
'
where:
Whi = basic weight for the sample households in the i-th sample EA in stratum h
Mh = total number of households in the sampling frame of EAs for stratum h
M'hi = total number of households listed in the i-th sample EA in stratum
nh = number of sampled EAs selected in stratum h.
Mhi = total number of households in the frame for the i-th sample EA in stratum h
mhi = number of sample households selected in the i-th sample EA in stratum h
If mhi is constant for each stratum (24 households), the sample will be approximately self-
weighting within each stratum. These weights will vary slightly based on the difference between
the number of households listed in each sampled EAs and the corresponding number from the
sampling frame.
3.7 Lessons Learned and Limitations of the Survey
The main limitations faced in conducting CLS are:
Length of the questionnaire – too many questions that prompted some respondents to
postpond the interview. This cost time in call backs and hence increasing the cost of the
survey.
Interviewing children in the age range 5-7 years – some of these children were too young
to answer the questions, especially those related to economic behaviours.
The above suggests the need of improving questions on labour force to precisely reflect
questions on labour market.

CHAPTER FOUR: CONCEPTS AND DEFINITIONS
4.1 Introduction
Child labour (CL) Report has been derived from the results of the ILFS 2014. It was one among
the modules in the ILFS 2014. The survey produces vital statistics information which is
important for planning, policy formulation and providing indicators for monitoring, evaluation
and mitigating against child labour.
In analyzing child labour data, the concepts and definitions used were as recommended by the
ILO and as to per the guidelines provided in the Resolution of Child Labour statistics adopted
by the 18th International Conference of Labour Statisticians (ICLS).
The following are the major terms used for the 2014 Child Labour Report:
4.2 Concepts and Definitions
A Child
According to the Zanzibar Employment Act No. 11 of 2005, a child is a
person under the age of 17 years. However, for the purpose of this survey and
the need of preventing children working in hazardous sector, a child is defined
as a person under the age of 18 years.
Minimum Age for
Employment
According to the Zanzibar Children’s Act No.6 of 2011, the minimum age for
employment or engagement in work of a child is 15 years and above.
Target Population
A target population for the Child Labour Report is 5-17 years. The analysis of
Child labour was made within the specified age groups of 5 – 11; 12 – 14; and
15 – 17.
SNA production
boundary
This involve all activities including all production of goods and provision of
services for the market, as well as production of goods for own consumption.
Economic Activities
Economic activity as defined by the United Nations System of National
Accounts (SNA) of 1993 covers all market production and certain types of
non market productions, including production and processing of primary
products for own consumption, own account construction and other
production of fixed assets for own use.
18 | C H I L D L A B O U R R E P O R T
Non-economic
activities
Non-economic activities include unpaid production of services for own
consumption, such as housework and care of other household members.
Light work
It is type of work not likely to be harmful to the health or development of a
child; and not such as to prejudice the attendance at school, the participation in
vocational orientation or training programmes.
Children in
employment
Are those children engaged in any activity falling within the production
boundary in the SNA for at least one hour during the reference period.
Engagement in these activities classifies a person as employed.
The terms “children in employment” and “employed children” are used
interchangeably in this report.
Children seeking
work
These are unemployed children who are not engaged in any economic activity
may want to work and be available for work, if offered.
Child Labour
The International Labour Organization (ILO) defines child labour as “work
that deprives children of their childhood, their potential and their dignity, and
that is harmful to their physical and mental development.
Child labour involves work that deprives children of the right to enjoy their
childhood and places them in work that is harmful to their physical and or
mental development.
Hazardous work
It includes children who work in designated hazardous industries (namely,
mining and quarrying, and construction); work in designated hazardous
occupations; working for long hours (43 hours or more per week); or who are
working under hazardous conditions.
Non Hazardous work
It includes work performed by all children aged 5-11 that are not in hazardous
work; or work performed by all children aged 12-14 that are not in hazardous
work and work for 14 hours or more a week (not in light work).
Unpaid household
activities (household
chores):
It includes all unpaid household services, that is, the production of domestic
and personal services by a household member for consumption within their
own household.
19 | C H I L D L A B O U R R E P O R T
Vulnerable children
These are children who are living in households not headed by a parent or
close relative; or foster children, orphaned children or children in domestic
services as paid employees – in cash or in kind.
Current
Refers to the calendar previous week (Monday to Sunday) prior to the date of
interview.
Usual
Refers to previous 12 months up to the end of the calendar month preceding
the date of interview.

CHAPTER FIVE: CHILDREN CHARACTERISTICS
5.1 Introduction
This chapter presents the survey findings concerning children’s main activities including, non
working children, household chores and children not in child labour. In addition to children’s
main activities, it provides information on children’s population, time spent by children in doing
different activities.
5.2 Population of Children Aged 5-17 Years
The findings from table 5.1 show that there are 462,278 children aged 5-17 with younger
children aged 5-11 having the highest proportion (58.2 percent). There is no remarkable variation
between sex across the age groups. The results further reveal that higher proportion of children
reside in rural areas (59.7 percent) than in urban areas (40.1 percent). There is no difference
observed between sex across age groups for urban and rural areas.

5.4 Children Engaged in Household Chores
Table 5.5 reveals that, three quarters (75.8 percent ) of the total children aged 5-17 are engaged
in household chores with higher proportion for girls (52.2 percent) compared to boys (48.0
percent). Children of age 5-11 has the largest proportion (57.8 percent) of children performing
household chores compares to other age groups. Children in rural areas (197,416) are more
likely to perform household chores than in urban areas (152,766).

Hours of work and a child’s age are criteria to identify whether a child is in child labour or not.
Among 350,182 children doing household chores 99 percent are working for more than 14
hours per week . More than half of children (58 percent) aged 5-11 work more than 14 hours
per week. The proportion of children decreases as age increase for both boys and girls, (Table
5.6).

5.5 Children not in Child Labour
The Table 5.11 shows that, out of 54,572 employed children, 52.7 percent were not in child
labour, with majority of them (60.5 percent) are aged 15-17. In general the percentage of boys
not in child labour was higher compared with girls. The results further illustrate that children in
urban areas are more likely to be angaged in child labour than children living in rural areas.

CHAPTER SIX: EMPLOYED AND NON EMPLOYED CHILDREN
6.1 Introduction
The analysis of the Child Labour characteristics discussed in this chapter provides an overview
of the employed and unemployed children. It also provides important information regarding
their age groups, employment status, industries of employment, occupation, reason for working,
average hours worked, children seeking employment and type of work willing to do.The
information helps the government to track the employment of children below 18 years in
various sectors.
6.2 Employed Children
The findings (Table 6.1) shows that, there were 54,572 employed children aged 5-17; 57.6
percent were boys. Majority of the employed children (42.2 percent) are aged 15 - 17 and the
younger children aged 5 – 11 accounted for 24.2 percent. Girls were more likely (26.6 percent)
to be engaged in employment at lower age (5 -11 years) compared to boys (22. 4 percent) while
for the remaining age groups, boys were more likely to be engaged in employment compared to
girls.
Large proportion of the employed children (88.6 percent) were living in rural areas. The
younger children aged 5 -11 in rural areas were more likely (25.7 percent) to be engaged in
economic activities compared to those in urban areas (12.2 percent). Generally, the proportion
of employed children increases with increase in age.

employed (non-agriculture) without employees, while only one in every ten was paid employee. Girls
employed were more likely (38.0 percent) to be self-employed in non-agricultural activities without
employees than in other employment status. Boys employed were more likely (30.7 percent) to be
engaged as unpaid family helpers (in crops growing), while only 11.7 percent were paid employed.
The results further shows that, children who were paid employee were more common in urban (23.6
percent) compared with rural areas (7.4 percent) while there are more unpaid family helpers (in crops
growing) in rural (31.1 percent) compared with urban areas (26.7 percent).

Long hours of work is one among the criteria used to determine hazadous child labour. Figure 8.3
reveals that, about 3,271 children are among working children aged 5-17 not working in
hazardous industries nor in hazardous occupations, and those who are working for long hours (43
hours or more per week). In this age group, boys are the majority (72.0 percent) compared to girls
(28.0 percent). Most affected are children from rural areas (72.2 percent) compared to urban areas
(27.8 percent).

Table 8.19 shows that, on average weekly hours of work performed by children in hazardous work
is 21 hours a week on their economic activities, among those 23 hours performed by boys and 17
hours performed by girls. On average children in urban areas worked in more time for about 26
hours a week than in rural areas who worked only for about 20 hours a week.

CHAPTER NINE: EDUCATION
9.1 Introduction
This chapter present the education status of children and their characteristics. The education status
is discussed for those children aged 5-17 years with their working status including household
chores, economic activities and child labour status both in hazardous and non hazardous work.
9.2 Children in Education
Table 9.1 revealed that among total children aged 5-17 years, 63.1 percent attained primary
education and 13.9 percent attained secondary education (O level). The results also show that
13.8 percent of children have no formal education. One fifth of the children (21.7 percent) aged 5-
11 have no formal education.
The proportion of boys who attained primary education is slightly higher (64.1 percent) than girls
(62 percent). The proportion of boys who have no formal education is slightly higher (14.5
percent) than girls (13 percent). Majority of boys and girls aged 15-17 (56.8 and 70.5 percent
respectively) attained secondary education (O level).

urban areas (7.3 percent). Both rural and urban areas have almost the same proportion of children who
attained primary education (63.2 and 62.8 percent, respectively).
Nine in every ten children aged 12-14 in rural areas (89.2 percent) attained primary education where by
more than half (54 percent) of children of aged 15-17 attained secondary education (O level). In urban
areas, children of age 12-14 years (85.1 percent) attained primary education whereby three quarters

9.4 Education Status of Children
Table 9.3 shows that, majority of children (80.7 percent) are attending school while 13.8 percent
never attended school with highest proportion (21.7 percent) observed in the age group 5-11. The
results further indicate that only 4.3 percent of children dropped from school with the highest
proportion (13.3 percent) observed in the age group 15-17. Generally the trend shows that, the
proportion of drop out increases as the age of children increases.
The proportion of children attending school in urban areas is higher (88.7 percent) than in rural areas
(75.3 percent). However, rural areas have higher proportion (18.1 percent) of children never
attended school compared to 7.3 percent in urban areas. The results also reveal that rural areas have
higher proportion of children who dropped from school (5.6 percent) than urban areas (2.5
percent).

Table 9.4 shows that eight in every ten boys and girls are attending school (79.4 and 82.1 percent
respectively). The results also show that there is no markable defference between boys (14.5 percent)
and girls (13 percent) who never attended school. About 5.2 percent of boys dropped from school
which is proportionately higher compared to girls (3.4 percent). The highest drop out is observed in
age group 15-17 for both boys and girls.

equal proportion between boys(59.1 percent) and girls (59.1 percent). However, 39.9 percent of non
working children never attended school with almost equal proportion of boys (40.2 percent) and girls
(39.5 percent). Among the non working children (54.8 percent) in rural areas and (22.4 percent) in
urban areas never attended school. Differentials between sex suggest that only 43.6 percent of non

Table 9.28 indicates that the main reasons for never attending school are refusals (28.1 percent), low
age of the child (21.3 percent) and financial constrains (18.8 percent).
There was no much difference between rural and urban while all girls in urban areas and 22.6 percent
of boys in rural areas pointed to financial constrains as the reason for never attending school.
Refusal, is main reason of children not to attend school both in rural and urban areas (28.2 percent of
27.0 percent respectively) while 2.8 percent children of rural areas reported never not to attend school
due to caring for the sick or children while girls were more likely in caring (5.1 percent) than boys (1.2
percent).

frequently.
Five in every ten employed children (50.5 percent) get injuries or illness occasionally compared to
one employed child in every ten get injuries or illness more often or frequently. More than fifty
percent (52.4 percent) of urban employed children get injuries or illness occusionaly, this has no
much difference from the proportion of rural areas (50.3 percent).
The employed children working in urban areas are at higher risk of getting injuries or illiness more
often or frequently (23.3 percent) than those working in rural areas (8.0 percent). However the
propotion of employed children who get injuries or illiness occassionaly was almost the same in
both rural and urban areas ( 50.3 and 52.4 percent respectively).

CONCLUSION
As in many developing countries, Zanzibar is characterised by young population. The survey found
a total of 462,278 children aged 5-17 years whereby boys are 231,732 and girls are 230,545.
Residentially, majority of these children are residing in rural areas (276,745) compared to urban
areas (185,533). In term of regions, about two-fifths of the children live in Mjini Magharibi
(181,130), followed by Kaskazini Pemba (95,060), Kusini Pemba (85,487), Kaskazini Unguja
(63,150) and the least is Kusini Unguja with only 37,451 children.
The survey indicates that, there were 54,572 working children, the large proportion of the employed
children (almost nine out of ten) live in rural areas. It is observed that girls are more likely to be
engaged in employment at young age (5 -11 years) than boys. Majority of the employed children
(two out of five) belong to age 15 to 17 years. Geographically, Kusini Pemba region has the highest
proportion of children who were employed compared to other regions.
The total number of non working children was 57,523; there are more non working children in rural
areas compared to urban areas. The survey indicates that larger proportion of boys (56.1 percent) is
not working compared to girls (43.9 percent). With respect to age distribution nine out of every ten
non working children are aged 5-11 years with equal proportion between boys and girls. Mjini
Magharibi region has the highest proportion (47.6 percent) of non working children compared to
other regions.
The findings further reveal that, most of the children in Zanzibar are doing household chores
(350,182), with higher number of girls compared to boys. Rural areas have larger proportion of
children doing household chores than urban areas. Household chores are extensive among young
children aged 5-11 which constitutes more than half (57.8 percent) of the total children in
household chores. Just like non working children, Mjini Magharibi region has the highest
proportion of children doing household chores. Generally, children spend an average of 22 hours
per week working on household chores. The children in rural areas are more likely to work longer
hours in household chores than in urban areas. In weekend (Saturdays and Sundays) children spend
an average of more than 60 minutes per day in household chores with girls spending more time (77
minutes) per day than boys (62 minutes).
The children employment status shows that nearly one third of employed children are working as
unpaid family helper (in crops growing), with larger proportion in rural areas than urban. Almost
three in every ten employed children were self employed (non-agricultural) without employees with
slightly more girls than boys. It is further noted that paid employees are more common among boys
and urban areas.
The findings further show that, more than half of children are engaged in agriculture, forest and
fishing Industry, which is more prevalent among boys and rural areas. The second largest Industry
with more working children are wholesale and retail trade; repair of motor vehicles and
138 | C H I L D L A B O U R R E P O R T

Boys recorded a higher proportion for unemployed children than girls. Almost two third of children
who were seeking work reside in rural areas than in urban areas, Mjini Magharibi children depict
the largest proportion of children of seeking work compared to other regions. Majority of child job
seekers look for the full time than part time work.
The monthly average income of employed children was TZS. 29,348, with boys earn more (TZS.
34,345.6 per month) than girls (TZS. 22,570.4 per month). Children aged 15-17 years earn about a

more girls (49.4 percent) than boys (40.2 percent). The majority of children in child labour were
found in rural areas than in urban areas. Out of total number of children in child labour, 13,613
139 | C H I L D L A B O U R R E P O R T
children are found in hazardous child labour where boys are more likely to be engaged in hazardous
child labour than girls. Kusini Pemba region recorded the highest proportion of children in
hazardous child labour. It was revealed that children in rural are more prone to hazardous child
labour than in urban areas. The older the age the higher the proportion of children engaged in
hazardous child labour.
More than one third (37.6 percent) of children in child labour works as self employed (Non-
agricultural without employees); with more girls than boys, followed by unpaid family helper (in
crops growing). The smallest proportion of children in child labour is reported to work on own farm

fumes and gases with the higher proportion of girls (74.1 percent) than boys (52.0 percent). One
third of children in hazardous child labour works in sea, lake, river and water with more boys than
girls.
Three out of ten children who are in child labour share the idea that good upbringing and imparting

are living. On other side, the majority of children in hazardious child labour work in order to
supplement household income where they are living.
Eight in every ten children are attending school. Moreover the proportion of girls attending school
is higher than that of boys. Children aged 12–14 years account for a higher proportion of school
attendance (91.2 percent) compared to children in other age groups. The results further show that,
140 | C H I L D L A B O U R R E P O R T
children in urban areas (88.5 percent) are more likely to attend school than rural areas (75.1
percent).
The results indicate that one in every ten children has never attended school; the age group 5-11 has
the highest proportion of children who never attend school. The situation in rural areas is almost
triple compared to the urban areas with more boys than girls. The proportion of children who never
attend school is the highest for non working children (two fifths). Among children in child labour,
nine in every ten engage themselves in both economic and housekeeping activities. Four fifths of
children in child labour refused to attend schools with similar proportion between girls and boys.
The survey results show that 4.3 percent (19,878) of children aged 5-17 have dropped out of school.

urban areas. Children in child labour working in agriculture, forestry and fishing industry are most
likely to sufferer from accidents, injuries and illness compared to those in other industries, of
which nearly half of them (48.9 percent) were temporarily stopped to go to school and one third
(33.7 percent) was prevented from schooling permanently.
Three quarter of the children (78.6 percent) in child labour work less than 25 hours per week, with
urban areas work for few hours compared to rural areas. Among children in hazardous child labour
work for more than 14 hours per week.
Half of employed children get injuries or illness occasionally with almost similar proportion
between sexes. Almost one in every ten employed children get injuries or illness frequently.
141 | C H I L D L A B O U R R E P O R T
Employed children in urban get injuries or illness frequently (23.3 percent) while that of rural areas
get injuries or illness rarely (41.8 percent). A half of the employed children, who are victim of
injuries or illness continue to work, two-fifth stopped work temporarily and about two percent get
permanently disabled whereby all of them are from rural areas. One in every two employed
children (56.8 percent) engaged in agriculture, forestry and fishing industry.
Majority of employed children (95.1percent) live with their parents or relatives as their head of
households, with almost similar distribution among boys (96.5 percent) and girls (93.3 percent).
Most of employed children live in the households with modern roof (69.5 percent), modern wall
(50.0 percent) and modern floor (53.0 percent). Children in rural areas are more likely to live in
households with tradition roof, tradition floor and tradition wall compare to children live in the
urban areas. The analysis further shows that a small proportion of employed girls were typically
domestic servant with all of them live in urban areas in households with modern roof, modern wall
and modern floor.
142 | C H I L D L A B O U R R E P O R T
Recommendations
Zanzibar Government have education policy which proclaim free education to all Zanzibaris
irrespective of colour, creed or gender. The survey reveal that there are substantial number of
children who never attended school, especially young children aged 5-11 years and dropout
children are mostly observed in age 15-17 years. Special programs should be developed to:-
Sensitize parents, guardians or head of the households on importance of education to
children.
Economically empower poor households through government programmes (TASAF
program), Microfinance institutions or other means to enable them to engage in improved
productive activities.
Zanzibar as a part of International community adhere number of convention and develops her own
policy regarding to employment, there is existence of vulnerable children who are engaged in both
child labour and hazardous works, victim of work related injuries and illness without protective
gears and measures are mostly found in rural areas especially in agricultural, forest and fishing
industry. The regional variation in child labour and hazardous work needs specific intervention
prioritizing mostly affected regions to protect child from more vulnerability. There is a need for
responsible institutions to fully enforce employment policy.
The non-governmental Institutions need to play roles regarding to children growth by promoting
safer work for good upbringing and imparting of skills.
