the study.
entènasyonal deside tanmen yon rechèch sou kantite timoun ki
nan domestisite ak sou tout sa ki konsène fenomèn timoun kap MAST
travay kay moun nan. Pandan lap ede nou konprann pi byen
fenomèn sa a, rechèch sa a pral pèmèt enstitisyon ak program
yo devlope yon plan kap chita sou reyalite sosyete nou an
ansanm ak ekzijans entènasyonal yo, gras ak enfòmasyon ki
pral jwenn yo ak analiz ki pral fèt nan tèt kole sou enfòmasyon
sa yo.
Jounen jodi a rechèch sa a nesesè pou n ka gen yon fondasyon
estratejik pou entèvansyon yo ki pral pèmèt devlope yon seri
estrateji ak program kap kouvri tout aspè sou pwoblèm timoun
ki nan domestisite. Aktivite kap sòti nan fondasyon estratejik sa
a fè pati ranfòsman sistèm proteksyon timoun nan peyi a, nan
defini ak mete sou pye bon jan sèvis pou timoun ki pi menase
yo, pwosesis kowòdinasyon epi referans (voye yo nan lòt
enstitisyon ak lòt sèvis yo ta ka bezwen) ak ranfòsman kad legal
la oubyen pote amelyorasyon nan jan yap ranmase ak analize
enfòmasyo yo. MINUSTAH

Acknowledgements
Fafo takes the opportunity to express its sincere gratitude to all those who have participated in the
undertaking and contributed to the success of the Haiti Child Domestic Workers Survey. In particular
we are grateful to Institut Haïtien de l’Enfance (IHE) for conducting the fieldwork for the survey with
a high level of commitment and professionalism. IHE’s team of around 80 people was headed by
General Director, Dr. Michel Caymittes and assistant General Director Valery Blot, assisted by
technical coordinator Canez Alexandre, and field coordinators Michaud Jouse and Héloine Gérard.
Many thanks also to Pierre Anthony Garraud, who was responsible for setting up and programming
the tablets used during the survey.
Several colleagues at Fafo have been involved at different stages of the project. Special thanks go to
Anne Hatløy for her contributions during the training of supervisors, quality assurance and never-
ending support. Many thanks also to Tone Sommerfelt, who is responsible for the qualitative part of
the project, and Anne Kielland, for sharing their knowledge and providing valuable input and support.
We are also grateful to Mélanie Meresse for translating the report to French and to Agneta Kolstad
and Fafo publication department for working on the layout and for preparing the report for
publication.
Fafo also wishes to thank UNICEF, ILO, IOM, the IRC, Terre des Hommes Lausanne Foundation and
the Haitian state for initiating this important research, and all the members of the Technical
Committee for generously funding and supporting the project.
Most importantly we wish to thank the Haitian people for their kind cooperation in responding to the
survey. It is our hope that the results of the survey will inspire national planners and international
donors to meet your expectations in the future. In spite of all contributions and support, it goes
without saying that any error or misunderstanding in this report is the sole responsibility of Fafo.

The Haiti Child Domestic Workers Project
This report presents the tabulations from the Haiti Child Domestic Workers Survey (HCDWS 2014).
The HCDWS 2014 is a part of the Haiti Child Domestic Worker Project, which also includes a
qualitative study, an institutional analysis and a literature review. Analyzes of the different sources of
data will be published in a forthcoming synthesis report.
The Haiti Child Domestic Workers Project was initiated by UNICEF, ILO, IOM, the IRC and the Terre
des Hommes Lausanne Foundation, in cooperation with the Haitian state. Additional organizations
joined during the course of research, and eventually a group of 28 different organizations supported
the research and made up a Technical Committee. 1 The Technical Committee acts as a reference
group for the study and is chaired by the Ministère des Affaires Sociales et du Travail (MAST) and
Institut du Bien-Etre Social et de Recherches (IBESR).
The main objective of the project is to establish a better qualitative and quantitative understanding
of the phenomenon of children in domesticity in Haiti, as well mapping the existing institutional
responses. The new knowledge deriving from the project will make national and international actors
both in the field and at the political level better able to develop a common program and policy
response, in line with the socioeconomic realities, the institutional environment, international
standards, and national and international legal frameworks.
The project seeks to answer the following questions:
a) How many child domestic workers are there currently in Haiti? How is their demographic
distribution?
b) What are their working and living conditions?
c) Which factors make children more or less vulnerable to domesticity? Which factors make
children in domesticity more or less vulnerable to exploitation and abuse?
d) What are the characteristics of the children’s original household and the households where
they live as child domestics? What are Haitian household heads’ perceptions about child
relocation?
e) What is currently being done to prevent children entering into domesticity and to protect
children already in domesticity? What should be done?
This tabulation report will primarily present data relating to question b) the child domestic workers’
working and living conditions relative to other children, and c) the characteristics of original and
receiving households, and the households’ perception of child relocation. More thorough analysis of
the statistical data presented in this report will be found in the forthcoming synthesis report.
The study is a follow up of the Enfants en domesticité en Haïti (EEDH 2001) (Sommerfelt 2002), which
was a part of Haiti’s first living condition survey, Enquete sur les Conditions de Vie en Haiti (ECVH

2001)(IHSI and Fafo 2001, IHSI and Fafo 2003). The HCDW survey is designed to produce data that
are comparable with the EEDH 2001 and analyze trends and developments since the last survey.
What is child domestic labour in a Haitian context?
That children live with (reste avec 2) other than their birth parents is a widespread practice in Haiti.
However, it is important to note that this practice of child relocation includes a wide range of
boarding and fostering practices, with a continuum from children living as “paying” boarders with
households in the city in order to attend high-quality schools, to children being exploited and abused
in slave-like conditions. When discussing the conditions of child domestic workers in Haiti, it is
essential to be explicit about who we are talking about, and who we are not talking about. To date it
does not exist any commonly agreed upon definition of a child domestic worker in a Haitian context.
How the concept is used depends both on the user’s position and purpose. Our purpose is to identify
the group of children, who is the relevant target group for policies and interventions directed
towards children in domesticity. That implies that we are focusing on the group of children who are
experiencing a vulnerability or burden from their domestic work, and who are in an exploitative
situation or find themselves vulnerable for exploitation. The Convention of the Right of the Child, 3
article 32, recognizes the right of all children to be “protected from economic exploitation and from
performing any work that is likely to be hazardous or to interfere with the child's education, or to be
harmful to the child's health or physical, mental, spiritual, moral or social development”. Thus, this
condition does not relate to children’s activities per se, but to the consequences of their work. In
order to capture children’s particular vulnerabilities from domestic work we find three criteria to be
particularly relevant: residence, domestic workload and schooling.
In the Haiti Child Domestic Workers Survey a child (aged 5-17) is defined as a child domestic if he/she
is a) not residing with biological parents, b) have a high domestic workload (upper three quintiles of
hours worked per week for child’s age), and c) have insufficient education (never enrolled, not
currently enrolled or enrolled in a lower level than expected for his or her age).
This definition is the same as used in the EEDH 2001, making it possible to track developments and
changes over the 13 years that have passed since the last survey.
The questionnaires
There are two main questionnaires used in the survey: a household questionnaire and a randomly
selected child questionnaire. The household questionnaire contains three rosters and a set of
questions for the households as reporting units. A household roster collects basic information about
all household members, while a child roster collects more detailed information on children in the
household aged 5-17. Main topics in the child roster are education, domestic work, social conditions,
2
The term restavek is frequently used as equivalent to a Haitian child domestic worker, especially for advocacy
purposes. Restavek is a creole term, originally stemming from the French reste avec, to live with. The term has
over the years become increasingly stigmatizing and is frequently connoted with child slavery. Since there does
not exist any agreed upon definition of the term, neither ethnically or academically, and the term is used as
derogatory, we have chosen not to use the term in this report. The exception is for table 2.1 Relationship to
head of household, where the status as restavek has been recorded if given spontaneous by the household
respondent.

health status and parental contact. In addition, a roster for children who had left the household the
last five years prior to the survey is included. The household questionnaire also contains questions on
household level on topics such as household economy, dwelling and infrastructure, as well as a
module on perceptions of child relocation.
The randomly selected child questionnaire was responded by a child in each surveyed household.
Households without a member in the age range 5-17 were not found eligible for interview. In
households with children living without their parents, the child respondent was randomly selected
within this group of children. In households without children separated from their parents, the
respondent was randomly selected from all children within the age range. The child questionnaire
includes questions that need to be answered individually on the same topics addressed in the
household questionnaire, and in addition includes questions on relocation, treatment in the
household and a short psychological mood and feelings self-assessment. 4 The self-assessment
questionnaire is designed to screen for depression in general populations of children adolescent from
the age of eight (Angold, Costello et al. 1995). The depression index will be reported in the synthesis
report. In this tabulation report we have included some of the individual questions making up the
index (see tables 6.9 to 6.14).
Technical aspects of the survey
This section provides a brief overview of the technical aspects of the survey. More detailed
information can be found in the technical appendix to the report.
The source for the statistical data presented in this report is a national household survey,
implemented by Institut Haitien de l’Enfance (IHE), in collaboration with Fafo. The design of
questionnaires, sampling and analysis of data has been the responsibility of Fafo. The sample for the
survey consisted of 2,160 households distributed in 80 randomly selected clusters.
The survey had a stratified two-stage cluster sampling design, where stratification was done by
urban/rural. The sampling frame was obtained from the Haitian national bureau of statistics, IHSI,
and is based on their 2003 census. The national sample was stratified into four regions: North, South,
Transversale and West (including the metropolitan region). At the first stage of sampling, the 80
clusters were selected based on a probability proportionate to the number of households in each
cluster.
Prior to the second stage of sampling, each cluster was mapped and all households were listed and
screened for the presence of children not living together with their parents. In total, 13,402
households were visited as part of the screening exercise. Two lists were made in each cluster: one
for the households hosting children separated from their parents and one for households not hosting
children separated from their parents. For each cluster, a total of 27 households were selected. Out
of these, 20 households were randomly chosen from the list of households with separated children
and 7 households were chosen from the list of households without separated children. In clusters
where there were less than 20 households hosting separated children, all were selected for interview
and additional households were selected from the other list, giving a total of 27 households in each
cluster.

In each eligible household two respondents were interviewed: 1) the head of household, or if the
head was not available, another adult, informed household member, and 2) a randomly selected
child in the household. In the households hosting separated children, the child was selected from this
group of children. If there were no children aged 5-17 living in the household, the household was not
found eligible for interview. In total, 2,078 households and 1,617 randomly selected children were
interviewed. Out of these 959 were separated children and 658 were children living with their
biological parents. The response rate 5 was 98.7% on the household level and 97% on the child level.
Training and fieldwork
About 80 people from IHE participated in organizing and implementing the fieldwork. The team
doing the actual data collection consisted of two field coordinators, eight supervisors and 24
interviewers. Twenty-one mappers and listers participated in the initial mapping, listing and
screening process of the selected clusters. All staff had previous survey experience.
The interviewers received two weeks of training. The supervisors participated during the interviewer
training and received an additional two weeks of specialized training. The training was conducted by
IHE staff, supervised by Fafo and following a field manual developed by Fafo. The technical
committee was represented by staff from World Vision, and the International Rescue Committee
(IRC), who held lectures in child sensitive interviewing. Unicef trained the field staff on how to
identify potential cases of abuse, based on observations during the interviews. If the interviewers or
supervisors suspected that a child was subject of abuse or maltreatment in the household, they were
instructed to report to their field coordinator. The field coordination would then refer the case to
Unicef, who would be responsible for investigation and follow-up. No suspected cases of child abuse
were reported during the field work.
Some of the topics asked about in the interviews with the children are of a sensitive nature, for
instance their treatment relative to other children in the household and their feeling of self-worth. It
was considered whether it would be necessary to conduct same-sex interviews, with women
interviewing girls and men interviewing boys, but since no children were asked question about
directly gender-related issues, such as sexual behavior and abuse, this was not found to be essential.
The decision was made in collaboration with the study’s reference group. However, due to the
vulnerable position of the child respondents and the potential risk of coming across cases of serious
abuse, only female interviewers were used during the survey. All participants in the survey signed a
code of conduct developed by Unicef.
The actual field work took place during the period from September 15 to 23 October, 2014. The data
was recorded on tablets and transferred to Fafo as SPSS files. All the tabulations presented in this
report were conducted by Fafo.
The tables
The tables in this report follow a format where the main variable to be presented is shown at the top
of the table, while the background variables are presented in the rows. Percentages are based on the
5

13
row totals. Some percentages add up to more than 100 percent. This occurs when multiple answers
are possible for an indicator. This is then noted in the footnote. Non-response for particular
questions is generally negligible, but leads to absolute row totals which vary across tables. If there
are no positive responses for a category, this is indicated in the tables with a hyphen (-). In the
instances where positive responses are recorded but not enough to total 1 percent, this is recorded
as 0 percent.
All the reported results are weighted based on the design of the sample survey as discussed in the
Technical Appendix.
The tables in this report are based on several different sample selections, the most common being all
households (often represented by household heads), all household members, all children and all
randomly selected children. The sample selection is specified in a footnote under each table. Some of
the tables are describing phenomenon of relatively low occurrence, resulting in a small sample size.
Due to the relevance of the indicators and the lack of existing data, the decision was made to
nevertheless include these tables in the report. When the sample size is particularly low, this is noted
in a footnote.
The general background variables applied in the tables are the following:
The urban-rural classification follows the 2003 census in Haiti.
Gender is reported for the individual in question, or for the head of households when reporting on a
household level variable.
The wealth quintiles are constructed based on the Demographic Health Survey (DHS) wealth index. 6
A child domestic worker is defined as a child aged 5-17, who is separated from its parents, has a high
domestic workload [upper three quintiles of hours per week within age group] and is delayed in
schooling, or do not attend school. Child domestic worker is reported as status for the individual
child or on the household level as status for minimum one member of the household.
In addition various background variables are applied when they are relevant to the main variable
presented. These will be defined in the introductions to the relevant chapters when necessary.
The contents of the report
Chapter 1 presents basic characteristics of the total population, such as demographic distribution,
dependency ratios, highest completed education and literacy rates.
Chapter 2 presents basic characteristics of the child population (aged 5-17), such as the number of
orphans, parental presence in the household and possession of birth certificates. It also presents

The wealth indicator for the survey was constructed using Non Parametric Principal Components Analysis (or Categorical
Principal Components Analysis/CATPCA) instead of factor analysis.
14
different aspects of children’s mobility and relocation, such as number of times the children have
moved, contact with household of origin for children separated from their parents, characteristics of
household of origin and desire to return to original household
Chapter 3 presents the domestic working conditions for the child population, such as the type of
domestic tasks children are engaged in, their domestic work burden per week, and accidents and
illnesses as a result of domestic work. In addition, the chapter presents tables on, for instance, time
to rest, hazardous domestic tasks and body aches while working.
Chapter 4 presents the education situation for the child population, such as primary completion
rates, current school enrollment, school fees and absence from school. In addition, the chapter
presents more subjective measures, such as whether the children have time for homework, are
absent from school because of domestic work load or are too tired to follow instructions.
Chapter 5 presents tables on how the children are treated in the households, such as their sleeping
facilities, domestic punishment, networks outside of household, and a number of indicators for how
child domestic workers perceive they are treated relative to other children in the household.
Chapter 6 presents aspects of the children’s health situation, such as whether they have any
handicaps, have experienced acute illness or injuries the two last months or have been victims of
physical or sexual violence. In addition, the chapter presents selected tables on the children’s mood
and feelings the last two weeks, physical health problems and medical treatment the last 12 months.
Chapter 7 presents households’ perception of different types of relocation of children under the age
of 18 and under the age of 14. It also presents what kind of expectations households have to their
children’s new caretakers.
Chapter 8 presents the household economy in terms of income and access to credit, as well as more
subjective measures detailing the extent to which households are able to satisfy household
members’ needs. The chapter also includes tables on the households’ perceived financial prospects.
The last chapter presents the physical infrastructure of the households in terms of, for example,
access to improved water and sanitation (MDGs).

Chapter 1 Population
Main findings:
The oldest head of households are most likely to have a child domestic worker living with them.
While households where the head is 65 years of age or older make up only 10 percent of households
without child domestic workers, they make up 19 percent of household with child domestic workers.
Households where the head is aged 35 – 49 are in the other end of the scale. Making up 36 percent
of households without child domestic workers, they represent only 24 percent of households with a
child domestic worker. This support the thesis that child domestic workers are taken in to complete
the households’ age structure in order to fulfill age-specific work tasks and keep elderly people
without own children living at home company.
Child domestic workers are also overrepresented in households where the head is female. While 39
percent of households without a child domestic worker are headed by a woman, 48 percent of
households with one or more child domestic workers are female-headed. It should, however, be
noted that one-in-four of the female household heads have a spouse living in the household.
Child domestic workers are more often found in large households (6 members or more) and in
households where the dependency and the child dependency ratios are high.
Definitions:
A household is a person or group of people who live together in a dwelling unit (house, apartment,
etc.) or in more than one dwelling unit located close together (lakou). The members of a household
will eat food that is prepared in the same kitchen, but they might not eat the same food at the same
time.
Household members are anyone who has stayed with or intends to stay with the household for at
least three months, who are temporarily away for less than three months or is staying with the
household and has no other place to live.
The dependency ratio is the number of persons aged 0-14, plus the number of persons aged 65 and
above, divided by the number of people aged 15-64. The dependency ratio measures the size of the
population outside of what is defined as working age proportionate to the size of the working age
population.
The child dependency ratio is the number of persons aged 0-14, divided by the number of persons
aged 15-64. The child dependency ratio measures the size of the population that is younger than 15
proportionate to the size of the working age population.
Marital status is recorded as single, married (maryaj), married (place), vivavèk, widowed, divorced or
separated. Maryaj implies that the couple has gone through a formal wedding ceremony, while place
more closely corresponds to a common-law relationship. Both categories describe recognized forms
of marriage. Vivavèk describes a relationship, which is relatively less stable and less binding than a
marriage, and, contrary to what the name indicates, does not involve the partners living together.
The vivavèk status does not exclude other coexisting partnerships for one or both parties, often the
male.
16
In the Haiti Child Domestic Workers Study, gender of the household head is recorded as it is ascribed
by the household itself. A spouse is defined as a person with whom the head of household is married
(maryaj or place).
Literacy is in this chapter defined as the ability to engage in everyday activities like reading a
newspaper or writing a short story. A distinction is made between people who report that they can
read and write easily (literate), read and write with difficulties (partly literate), or do not read and
write (illiterate). Both French and Haitian Creole are spoken and written in Haiti, French as the official
language and Creole as the more commonly used everyday language. A person who is able to easily
write one or both of the two languages is defined as literate. A person who reads easily but writes
with difficulties is defined as partly literate.
Highest completed education refers to the traditional education system used in Haiti, not to the
reformed system introduced in the 1997 education reform, and only partially implemented. In the
traditional education system, primary education lasts for six years. Secondary education lasts for
seven years and is divided into two cycles of three and four years respectively. Rheto is a certificate
awarded after succeeding in the state examination at the end of the third year of the second cycle.
Philo is a state diploma awarded at the end of the fourth year marking the end of the secondary
level. In the reformed educational system, primary education is replaced by fundamental education
which lasts for nine years. Fundamental education is composed of three cycles of three years each.
The first two cycles constitute primary (basic) education, and the third one corresponds to the first
cycle of the traditional secondary level. In order to facilitate comparisons with both systems, this
report divides the first nine years of the education level variable into cycles of six and three years
respectively. The following classification is used for highest completed education in the tabulations:
Incomplete primary equals completed 1st AF to 5th AF, primary equals completed 6th AF to 8th AF and
lower secondary equals completed 9th AF to 2nd year higher secondary.

Main occupation refers to the head of household’s answer to the question of household members’
main occupation. It reflects the response to a single question, in contrast to the employment status
variables based on ILO standard measurements. The main occupation variable indicates how
household members subjectively view their own employment status, and should not be used in
comparisons with the employment data based on standard definitions.

Chapter 2 Child population, aged 5–17
Main findings:
Being orphaned drastically increases the likelihood that a child becomes a domestic worker. Among
the children defined as domestic workers, only 60 percent have both their parents alive. Twenty-
seven percent have lost either their mother or their father, while 11 percent have lost both. Some
children do not know if their parents are still alive. In comparison, 85 percent of non-domestic
children have one or both parents alive. Only one percent of non-domestic children are double
orphans, indicating that losing both parents make children particularly vulnerable to domesticity.
Most of child domestic workers live with family member. In fact, three out of four child domestics
have some family relation to the head of the household where they live. Almost one-in-three live
with grandparents.
That child domestics tend to stay with family is also reflected in the fact that 22 percent are born into
the household where they currently live. This means that the child has not moved into the
household, but that the parents have moved out or died. Two-thirds still live in the same department
as they were born and almost half of child domestic workers still live in their birth commune.
However, children are much more likely to cross the departmental borders to move into an urban
area. Half of the child domestic workers living in an urban area have moved there from another
department, while this is the case for only one-in-five children in a rural area.
Two-thirds of the child domestic workers knew the members of their new household well before
moving in with them. Twenty-three percent did not know them at all. The likelihood of a child
moving into domesticity in a household he or she does not know, is twice as high in the urban
(32 percent) as in the rural (16 percent) area. The children moving into domesticity in urban areas are
also on average older when moving into the household, than child domestics in rural areas.
Twenty percent of child domestic workers with parents alive, report to be in contact with them daily.
An additional 37 percent are in contact with them weekly, while 15 percent have lost contact with
their parents. The youngest children and children who are not enrolled in school are most likely to
lose contact with their parents.
The most frequent type of parental contact is that the parents visit the child. Two-thirds of the child
domestic workers, who respond to have been in contact with their parents during the last
12 months, have received visits in their current household. The youngest children and children living
in rural areas are most likely to be visited by parents. Almost half of the children are visiting their
parents.
The majority of households housing children separated from their parents, whether defined as child
domestic workers or not, receive gifts from the children’s parents. The most common is
compensation in money, but agricultural products, clothes, shoes and household items are also
frequent gifts. As is to be expected, households more frequently receive money on behalf of children
that are enrolled in school. Nevertheless, more than 40 percent of households with child domestic
workers not enrolled in school do also receive money from the children’s parental households. Very
few transactions go from the households where the children are living and back to their parents. This
33
indicates that the households taking in children are compensated for their board and lodging. Not
that the parents are compensated for their work effort.
The main reason given by the household respondents as to why the children, post-survey defined as
domestic workers, moved into their households is economic problems in child’s former household
(24 percent), followed by social problems and death of parents (both 16 percent). For the child to go
to school and to do domestic work are also frequent reasons given (14 percent and 13 percent). To
go to school is a much more frequently given reason in urban areas, while death of parents is more
frequently reported as a reason in rural areas. It is interesting to note the gender differences in the
reasons given. The arrival of a male child domestic worker is twice as likely to be explained by
economic or social problems in his former household, while the arrival of female child domestic
worker is more likely to be explained by the death of parents, that she came to do domestic work or
go to school.
A slight majority of the child domestic workers comes from households that are poorer than the one
where they currently live. This is in line with the common perception that child domestic workers are
children sent from poor households to, at times marginally, more affluent households. However,
one-in-three of the domestic workers are living in a household which is of the same economic status
as their original household, while 11 percent have actually moved in to a poorer household.
Around half of the child domestic workers report that the quality of life in their current household is
better than in their original household, while only 16 percent consider their current life to be worse.
This is also indicated in that 43 percent of children identified as domestic workers do not want to
return to their household of origin if given the alternative.
Almost all children (95 percent) have issued a birth certificate, but child domestic workers are less
likely than other children to have them available in the house. While 68 percent of non-domestic
children have access to their birth certificate, 52 percent of child domestic workers have the
certificate available in the household where they live. However, most of the child domestics have
access to some identification, such as birth certificate, school report or vaccination card. Thirteen
percent have not access to any form of identification papers.

Chapter 3 Labour and domestic activities
Main findings:
Child domestic workers engage in a range of domestic activities. More than half of them are daily
involved in collecting and transporting water, washing dishes, sweeping the compound, running
errands and making fire in the morning. There are no activities that are carried out exclusively by
domestic workers, but the child domestics do considerably more of everything. Male child domestics
do more of the outdoors activities, such as carry firewood, tend animals and do agricultural activities.
The female child domestics have more responsibility in the household sphere and typically prepare
food products and meals, wash the dishes and sweep the compound.
It stems from the definition that child domestic workers work longer hours than other children. It is
nevertheless interesting to note that 43 percent of children not defined as domestics were reported
to have spent less than one hour on domestic work last weekday, according to the household
respondent. When asking the children themselves, 27 percent responded that they had not done any
domestic work. Seventeen percent of the child domestic workers had worked for five hours of more
vs. seven percent of other children. Child domestics living in rural areas and child domestics who are
not enrolled in school are having the highest domestic workload.
Forty-three percent of the child domestic workers always have to be on call. More female domestics
and domestics in urban area report that they are always on duty. One-in-four of child domestic
workers are involved in night work (after 8pm or before 6am).
One-in-three child domestic workers always, often or sometimes experience body aches while they
are conducting domestic work. There are only small differences between child domestics and other
children in this regard. The most frequent pain the children are suffering from is headache. Three-in-
five are often or sometimes experiencing headache when working, while one-in-ten are always
experience headache. The second most frequent pain the children are experiencing while working is
hip pain, followed by back pain and abdominal pain. Half of the child domestics have suffered from
cuts inflicted during domestic work and one-in-four have suffered burns.
Definitions:
Domestic activities are defined as work in the household and agricultural activities for the household,
as well as work children do on behalf of household members. For instance if a child begs money in
the streets and give it to someone in the household, it is considered a domestic activity. If the child
keeps all the money to itself, it is not considered a domestic activity.

Chapter 4 Education
Main findings:
As is to be expected from the definition, child domestic workers are less educated and less likely to
be enrolled in school than other children. While non-domestic children are increasingly more likely to
complete education with increasing wealth in the household where they live, this is not the case for
children in domesticity. It is also interesting to note that more non-domestic girls (49 percent) than
boys (37 percent) complete primary before the age of 17, while the opposite is true for child
domestic workers (35 percent boys vs. 27 percent girls). Non-domestic children are almost twice as
likely to complete primary if they live in an urban as in a rural household (61 percent vs. 32 percent),
while for child domestic workers the location of their household is of less importance (36 percent vs.
26 percent).
Child domestic workers have lower level of enrollment than other children, although the differences
might be less than expected. What is important to note, however, is that girl domestics are twice as
likely not to be enrolled in school as boy domestics (40 percent vs. 22 percent). The child domestic
workers, who are enrolled in school, typically are enrolled in schools with lower or no school fees.
Twenty-one percent of enrolled child servants in urban areas and 37 percent in rural areas have their
school fees paid by the state or by an organization.
One-in-five enrolled child domestic workers are often or sometimes late for class because of
domestic duties and equally many are always or often too tired to follow instructions. Access to
school books and other school material is also a bigger problem for child domestic workers than for
other children. However, the lack of time for homework is not reported as problem and child
domestics do not have significantly more absence from school because of work in the household
than other children.
Definitions:
Literacy in this chapter is the response to a single question posed to the randomly selected children
whether they consider themselves as literate, partly literate or non-literate.
Primary completion rate is the ratio of the total number of students successfully completing (or
graduating from) the last year of primary school in a given year to the total number of children of
official graduation age in the population. This survey reports on the primary completion rate for
children aged 12 to 17 year olds.

Chapter 5 Domestic treatment
Main findings:
Child domestic workers receive less punishment than other children. According to household
respondents, child domestics are considerably less likely to be hit with an object or whipped, which is
the most common form of punishment of all children. Child domestics are, however, more likely to
be verbally reprimanded than non-domestic children. This is in discordance with what parents who
want to send their children to live with another household find acceptable. According to them, verbal
reprimanding or insulting is unacceptable, while 81 percent accept that members of the new
household whip their children (see chapter 7). Less child domestics report to have received injuries
from punishment than non-domestic children.
Among children who had been punished last week before the survey, child domestics were more
likely to be punished for not performing their work well, disobedience or for showing disrespect than
other children.
One-in-four children are always or sometimes afraid of other members of the household. Children
are most afraid in the rural areas and there are no big differences between child domestics and other
children.
Almost three-in-four children have someone to talk to about difficult experiences; most of them have
someone in the household. Three-in-four children also report that they have friends of the same age
in the community. Non-domestic children are slightly more likely to have friends, but there are no
large differences. Boys are more likely to have friends than girls, and all children are more likely to
have friends in rural than in urban areas.
Child domestic workers are more frequently allowed to leave the house alone, both for duties and
for own purposes, than other children. Much of the explanation for this is, however, that the non-
domestic children on average are younger than the servant children. Female child domestic workers
are much less likely to be allowed to leave the house for own purposes than male child domestic
workers.
Child domestic workers are also less likely to go to church with other family members, and when they
go they are less likely to wear special clothes. While 72 percent of church-going non-domestic
children have special clothes that they wear for church, this is the case for 63 percent of church-
going child domestics. Child domestic workers are also less likely to have common food
arrangements with the other members of the household. While 80 percent non-domestic children
eat together with the household, this is the case for 69 percent of child domestics. Among child
domestic workers in the urban areas, only 59 percent eat together with the rest of the household.
The majority of child domestic workers feel that they are treated equal to other children in the
household. Only 12 percent feel they are treated worse. Twenty-four percent live in households
without other children. The youngest feel better treated than the oldest. For the child domestic
workers who report on differential treatment, this is manifested in longer work hours and higher
work load, more physical punishment and verbal reprimand, and less attention and care.

Chapter 6 Health
Main findings:
Child domestic workers are not more exposed to illness and injuries. However, when it occurs they
are less likely to receive medical treatment outside the household, particularly in the rural areas and
in the poorest households. The most common reason given is that the condition is not perceived to
be serious enough to necessitate treatment.
In this tabulation report we have included some selected tables on mental health. The tables are a
part of a larger set of questions that together make up a depression index. The depression index will
be discussed in the forthcoming analytical report. What is evident from the individual tables is that
there are no large differences in the reported moods and feelings the last two weeks before the
survey between child domestic worker and other children. The factor that has the highest impact on
the children’s well-being in the selected tables is whether the child is enrolled in school or not.
Children who are not enrolled in school generally feel more lonely, unhappy and unloved than
enrolled children, regardless of domesticity status. There is also a tendency that girls are more
troubled with difficult moods and feelings than boys, and older children more than younger children.

Chapter 7 Perceptions of child relocation
Main findings:
The majority of parents respond that they find it desirable to place their children in other households
for certain purposes. The alternative that stands out as clearly most desirable is to relocate a child for
the purpose of apprenticeship. Three out of four parents want this for their children. Around half of
the parents respond that they would find it desirable to place their children in a household that is
economically better off, in an urban household, to live a pension to go to school, to live with its
godparents or to live with relatives. To live with relatives in the city is far more desirable than to live
with relatives nearby. The alternatives that parents do not want for their children are to do domestic
or agricultural work in another household. It makes less of a difference whether the work is paid or
unpaid, or if the child is working for education. Putting a child up for adoption is also an option that is
desired by few. It is interesting to note that there are no differences between what parents want for
their sons and their daughters.
Around one-in-five would encourage their sons and daughters under 18 to do agricultural or
domestic work in another household for education. The acceptance of this is higher in rural, than in
urban areas, and among household heads with little or no education.
Parents who place a child with relatives expect the new household to feed and protect the child, and
to help with the education and upbringing of the child. One-in-three also expects the new household
to support them in a time of crisis. Less than one-in-five expects the new household to send them
money. As was noted in Chapter 2, transfers of money and gifts from the sending to the receiving
household are much more common, than the other way around.
The majority of parents accepts that members of the child’s new household punish the child if he/she
misbehaves. The most accepted forms of punishment are to ask the child to kneel down on its knees,
to whip the child, or to hit him or her with an object. Around half the parents also accepts that the
child gets spanked. The forms of punishments which are unacceptable to parents are that the child is
verbally reprimanded, cursed or insulted. Parents neither accept that their children are denied food,
sleep or given extra work as a form of punishment. Around one-in-four accepts that the new
household imposes restrictions on the child’s activities, and the majority accepts that a misbehaving
child is returned to its original household.
For households that want to place one or more of their children in another household, the main
reasons why they have not done so are that they lack contacts for facilitating, that they lack contacts
for receiving the child and that the child is too young.

Chapter 8 Household economy
Main findings:
From the tabulations, the presence of a child domestic in the household does not appear to be
related to the economic status of the household. This will be further explored in the forthcoming
synthesis report.
In general, three out of four Haitian households are unsatisfied with their current financial situation
and half of them are very unsatisfied. Almost half of the households report not to be able to send all
children to school and afford medical treatment. Only one-in-five can afford to eat fish, chicken or
meat three times per week or help family members in need.
Two-third of households report that their current level of food consumption is less than enough and
an overwhelming 90 percent are concerned about their access to food and basic necessities the next
12 months. Forty percent have no access to credit, and one-in-four would not be able to raise HTG
1000 (USD 21) within a week.
Almost two-thirds of Haitian households have experienced that their economy has deteriorated over
the last five years. Forty-five percent have experienced that it has deteriorated a lot. Only 13 percent
have experienced an improvement in their financial situation.
Half of the households that have experienced financial deterioration have delayed children’s
enrollment to school as a result of the situation. One-in-five have taken already enrolled children out
of school. Four-in-five have reduced food consumption and medical treatment for household
members. Fourteen percent of the households report to have sent children to live elsewhere as a
direct result of the deteriorated economic situation. Among households that currently host a child
domestic worker, 17 percent have relocated one of their own children.
Definitions:
Household income is based on current monthly and yearly household income as reported by
household respondents. Per capita household income is calculated by dividing the total household
income by the number of persons in the household.

Chapter 9 Dwelling and infrastructure
Main findings:
More than half of Haitian households do not have electricity in the dwelling. In the rural areas only
one-in-five households are connected to electricity, while three-in-four urban households have
electricity. The main sources of light are kerosene lamps and candles, and the main type of energy
for cooking is wood and charcoal. Even in the urban areas, households do not use electricity for
cooking.
Thirty-eight percent of households have access to toilet facilities that satisfy the Millennium
Development Goal (MDG)’s criterion for improved sanitation. Thirty-four percent have access to an
MDG improved water source. Access to improved water is better in rural than in urban areas. This is
because the majority of urban households depends on water bought by the gallon, which is not
considered an improved water source according to the MDG definition.
Definitions:
Improved water source (MDG) includes piped water into dwelling or plot; piped water from public
tap; covered well or borehole and rainwater collection. It does not include unprotected wells, water
provided by tanker truck, bottled water or surface water taken directly from rivers, ponds, streams,
lakes, dams, or irrigation channels. In the Haiti Child Domestic Workers Survey, households report on
the main water source to the households, not specifically on the source of drinking water. This
should be taken into consideration when comparing with other data on quality of water sources.
Improved sanitation facility (MDG) refers to facilities that hygienically separate human excreta from
human contact. Improved facilities include flush/pour flush toilets or latrines connected to a sewer,
septic tank, or pit, and ventilated improved pit latrines. Unimproved facilities include public or shared
facilities of an otherwise acceptable type, outdoors pit latrines or hole in plot which directly
discharge in water bodies or in the open and the practice of open defecation in the bush, field or
bodies of water.

Introduction
This document describes the sample of the Haiti Child Domestic Workers Survey 2014
(HCDWS). Its main aim is to document the sampling procedures, the handling of non-
response in the survey, and guidelines for variance estimation.
Requirements of the sample
The design of the HCDWS sample was – like any other sample – subject to a number of
constraints. The main design characteristics for the sample were the following:
1. The population selected for this study was relocated children, and domestic child
workers living in households resident in Haiti.
2. The survey should be able to provide statistics broken down by urban and rural
areas, and estimate the size of the domestic child worker population in Haiti.
3. The budget allows for a sample size of a maximum of about 2,000 households, and
no more than 80 clusters.
4. The set of questionnaires consist of a general household questionnaire, and a
questionnaire for a randomly selected child aged between 5 and 17 years (inclusive).
Sampling frame
The sampling frame for the survey is the list of enumeration units from the Census of
Haiti of 2003. The sampling frame is provided by Institut Haitien de Statistique et
d'Informatique (IHSI). The distribution of households is given in Table 1.

There are no direct information in the census that reliably can be used to estimate the
geographic distribution and number of child workers. The Haiti Living Conditions
Survey of 2001 indicates that domestic child workers are evenly distributed
geographically (as a proportion of the child population) and that about 9.6 percent of
households have children that may be described as child domestic workers.
267
Stratification and allocation of clusters to strata
A proportional allocation based on 80 clusters would result in too few clusters in some
strata based on the Departments and the residence. Therefore, the regional classification
of the census will be used as shown in Table 2.

One should note that the metropolitan region is only urban and makes up the vast
majority of enumeration areas in the West region.
The classification of households by region and residence allows for an allocation of
clusters that is very close to proportional as can be seen from the two following tables
(Table 3,Table 4).

In principle, the allocation given does not necessarily safeguard proportional allocation
across departments, but this can approximately be achieved through implicit
stratification, although as indicated in Table 1, there is no way to proportionally represent
all combinations of residence and departments.

Haiti Census 2003
A considerable problem with the sampling frame is the fact that the census is rather old.
Haiti has population growth of about 1.4 percent per year, has substantial migration and
experienced considerable population displacement because of the earthquake that struck
the country in 2010. One should therefore expect that enumeration areas have grown or
decreased in size, and that areas outside of the 2003 Census cartography coverage are
now inhabited.
In order to account partially for the changes, the mapping and listing must employ
procedures to correct the imperfections as far as possible. Such procedures basically
involve adjusting boundaries of enumeration areas in systematic fashion. The procedures
are described in the mapping and listing manual and are built on the work of Sunter
(1989).
Sampling design
Procedure of sample selection
Although the average size of clusters in the sample is 165 households, some clusters
may be large because of increase of population since 2003. When clusters of 400 and
more households have been selected, they will be split into segments. The cluster will be
divided into approximately equal sized segments, but care must be taken to make the
segments easily identifiable in the field. The size of the segments will be estimated
through quick-counting, and one segment selected with probability proportionate to the
estimated size of the segments.
Regardless of the allocation, one cannot expect a large number of child domestic
workers in the sample if an uninformative sampling of households is taken within each
cluster. Judging from the 2001 Haiti Living Conditions Survey (and we have little
evidence one way or the other for an increase, decrease or stability of the prevalence of
relocated children) a sample of 2,000 households would result in approximately 400
households with relocated children and about half of these would have children that can
be described as child domestic workers.
In order to ensure sufficient number of domestic child workers in the sample it is
therefore necessary to screen selected clusters for relocated children as part of the listing
of the clusters.
269
Although child domestic workers are the ultimate persons of interest for the survey it is
not practical to screen directly for child domestic workers. That has several reasons.
First, surveys that use the term restavek explicitly when asking households to categorise
children return relatively low number (e.g. the DHS surveys, the Haiti Living Conditions
Survey). Second, the classification of domestic child workers must take into account
what the children actually do, and that is difficult to map in a screening operation that is
carried out as part of a household listing.
Therefore, the listers will only ask for whether or not there are children in the household,
who do not have any parent present.
Screening for just the presence of parents is also likely to be imprecise. Therefore the
final sample of households will include 560 households (seven in each cluster) that were
screened as having no children without any parents present. These households will
partly be used for comparison, and partly to serve as a check on the accuracy on the
household screening.
The remaining 1,600 households (20 in each cluster) will be sampled from the list of
households with relocated children. Since the average size of the enumeration areas is
152 households, one should expect about 30 households with relocated children on
average in each cluster.
The key elements of the sampling are then the following.
1. Primary Sampling Units (PSUs) are explicitly stratified by urban and rural status and
region of households as recorded by the 2003 census.
2. Implicit stratification of PSUs based on geographic location.
3. Each (explicit) stratum received a sample allocation proportional to the number of
households in the stratum.
4. Within each stratum PSUs are selected with linear systematic sampling proportionate
to size (PPS) with number of households as measure of size.
5. A cluster may be divided in several segments and one selected with probability
proportionate to size if it is too large.
6. A sketch map will be made for each selected PSU and all households within the PSU
will be listed and screened for households with or without children.
7. From the list the selection of 2160 households will be made with linear systematic
sampling. The list will be divided in two:
a) Households with relocated children present. Twenty households will be selected.
b) Households with no relocated children present. Seven households will be selected.
For clusters which have less than 20 households with relocated children, the
remaining quota will be added on the number of household selected from the list of
household having no relocated children.
8. No substitution of selected households or individuals should take place.
9. From households with one relocated child, this child (aged 5 – 17) will be selected
for an individual interview. For households with more than one relocated child, one
child will be randomly selected among the relocated children. For households with
no relocated children, one child will be randomly selected from all children in the
270
household. This will be referred to as Randomly Selected Individual (RSI) selection
in the document. Since interviewing will be carried out by Computer Aided Personal
Interviewing (CAPI), the data entry software will select the person.
Additional information for sampling in the field
Some feedback from the field is added in the document as a complement to the sampling
design. This feedback includes application on segmenting clusters and usage of Kish
table in RSI selection.
No cluster in the sample has 400 or more households, therefore segmenting cluster was
not necessary in the field.
In total, 13,402 households were visited as part of the screening exercise. Two lists were
made in each cluster: one for the households hosting children separated from their
parents and one for households not hosting children separated from their parents. For
each cluster, a total of 27 households were selected. Out of these, 20 households were
randomly chosen from the list of households with separated children and 7 households
were chosen from the list of households without separated children. In clusters where
there were less than 20 households hosting separated children, all were selected for
interview and additional households were selected from the other list, giving a total of
27 households in each cluster.
In each eligible household two respondents were interviewed: 1) the head of household,
or if the head was not available another adult, informed household member, and 2) a
randomly selected child in the household. In the households hosting separated children,
the child was selected from this group of children. If there were no children aged 5-17
living in the household, the household was not found eligible for interview.
In total 2,078 households and 1,617 randomly selected children were interviewed. Out
of these 959 were separated children and 658 were children living with their biological
parents. The response rate 1 was 98.7% on the household level and 97% on the child
level.

The program used for data entry can only draw RSI respondents automatically when the
household listing during screening corresponds with the household listing during the
actual survey (See key elements of the sampling 7: list A is for households with relocated
children present; list B is for households with no relocated children present). For
households that had changed their composition since the mapping and listing, or had
been misclassified, Kish tables were used to randomly select one child in each
household.
For households that used Kish table for RSI selection, all children aged 5-17 were
considered eligible for individual interview. There were 372 households that used Kish
table for the RSI selection. Out of these, 55 households had relocated children. In these
household only the relocated children should have been found eligible for RSI selection,
not all children in the household.
When Kish table was used, all candidates for the RSI questionnaire were listed in
descending order by age. The last digit of the household ID (AI06 or AI07) decided
which column of the Kish table that should be used.
An example is provided in Table 7. The household (ID 25) has three relocated children
within the age span 5 to 17. According to column 5 in the Kish table, the second child in
descending order by age (Roster ID 3, Age 13) will be selected as RSI respondent for
child questionnaire.
After the survey it was discovered that the Kish table used in the field provides unequal
probability for RSI candidates to be selected (shown in Appendix C: Probability of
sampling RSI respondent). For some candidates (e.g. position 2 for 10 candidates), the
probability is zero. The weights have taken unequal probability into consideration, but
cannot address the errors caused by zero probability in RSI selection.

Inclusion probabilities and weights
It follows from the above that the sample is in general a two stage sample, but with a
third stage for the randomly selected child.
Notation
In order to describe the sample precisely and calculate inclusion probabilities we need to
introduce some notation. This is done in Table 8 Notation used.
Table 8 Notation used
Symbol Meaning
N Household count (initial estimate)
Nl Household count as listed
n Sample count (as per the sample allocation)
m Sample number of PSUs
M Total number of PSUs
P Inclusion probability
s Index of stratum
c Index of PSU
h and i Index of household (h used to indicate household in the sampling
stage, i for the list of all households from 1 to n in the sample)
d Index of person within the household
z Index of segment
q Superscript for quick counted estimate
r Superscript for households screened as having relocated children
273
oh Superscript for households screened as not having relocated
children
Inclusion probability
The inclusion probabilities for a PSU c in stratum s are the following (for all strata
except the 0 enumeration area stratum):
Equation 1 Inclusion probability for PSU
𝑁𝑁𝑠𝑠,𝑐𝑐 ∗ 𝑚𝑚𝑠𝑠
𝑃𝑃𝑠𝑠,𝑐𝑐 =
𝑁𝑁𝑠𝑠
Within each PSU a fixed number of households are to be selected (but see above). The
inclusion probability for a household h within a PSU c in stratum s is then the following:
Equation 2 Inclusion probability for household in cluster
𝑟𝑟
𝑛𝑛𝑠𝑠,𝑐𝑐
𝑃𝑃𝑠𝑠,𝑐𝑐,ℎ = 𝑙𝑙,𝑟𝑟 , 𝑤𝑤ℎ𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒 ℎ𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜ℎ𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜 ℎ𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎 𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟 𝑐𝑐ℎ𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖

𝑁𝑁𝑠𝑠,𝑐𝑐
Note that the listed number of households is used, rather than the initial estimate of
households from the census. Also note that the listed number and the sample take differs
within a cluster between the two lists of households that are screened as having relocated
children and those that do not (indicated with superscripts r for relocated child
households, and oh for ordinary households.
The segmenting stage has the following probability:
Equation 3 Inclusion probability for segment in cluster
𝑞𝑞
𝑁𝑁𝑠𝑠,𝑐𝑐,𝑧𝑧
𝑃𝑃𝑠𝑠,𝑐𝑐,𝑧𝑧 = 𝑞𝑞 𝑤𝑤𝑤𝑤𝑤𝑤ℎ 𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠
𝑁𝑁𝑠𝑠,𝑐𝑐
𝑃𝑃𝑠𝑠,𝑐𝑐,𝑧𝑧 = 1 𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜ℎ𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒
The overall inclusion probability for a household then becomes:
Equation 4 Overall inclusion probability for household
𝑃𝑃𝑖𝑖 = 𝑃𝑃𝑠𝑠,𝑐𝑐 ∗ 𝑃𝑃𝑠𝑠,𝑐𝑐,𝑧𝑧 ∗ 𝑃𝑃𝑠𝑠,𝑐𝑐,ℎ
But since not segmenting is done in the field, the overall inclusion probability for a
household is:
Equation 5 Overall inclusion probability for household
𝑃𝑃𝑖𝑖 = 𝑃𝑃𝑠𝑠,𝑐𝑐 ∗ 𝑃𝑃𝑠𝑠,𝑐𝑐,ℎ
Within each household one child aged 5-17 is selected at random from the list of the
eligible members. For households with relocated children, only the relocated children
are the eligible members. For households with no relocated children, all children aged 5-
17 are eligible members.
For households that are not misclassified during mapping and listing, the RSI selection
is done by data entry program. Eligible children have equal probability to be selection.
The final inclusion probability for a RSI within the household is then
274
Equation 6 Inclusion probability for RSI respondent
1
𝑃𝑃𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟 = 𝑃𝑃𝑖𝑖 ∗
𝑁𝑁𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟
But for the households that are misclassified, Kish table is used for RSI selection.
Eligible children have unequal inclusion probability which is shown in Appendix C:
Probability of sampling RSI respondent. The final inclusion probability for a RSI is then
the product of the household inclusion probability (Equation 5) and the probability Pd in
Appendix C Probability of sampling RSI respondent.
Equation 7 Inclusion probability for RSI respondent selected by Kish table
𝑃𝑃𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟 = 𝑃𝑃𝑖𝑖 ∗ 𝑃𝑃𝑑𝑑
Sampling weights
There are two types of sampling weights. The expansion weights create estimates
equivalent to real numbers in the population, while the relative weights retain the sample
size and only adjust the relative contribution of each unit of analysis (household or
individual). The expansion weights are calculated as the inverse of the sampling
probability, while the relative weights are calculated as the expansion weight divided by
the mean of all the expansion weights.
Thus, the expansion sampling weight for household i is:
Equation 8 Expansion sampling weight
1
Wi =
e
pi
The relative sampling weight is then:
Equation 9 Relative sampling weight
Wi
Wi r =
∑Wi e
n
The sampling weights as such are not used in estimation of survey results, because the
sampling weights are adjusted for non-response as will be discussed below.
Sampling weights are created for both households and randomly selected children.
Non-response and non-response corrections
The response rate that is achieved during the fieldwork of a survey is crucial for the
quality of the survey results. When response rates are low, one may justifiably suspect
biases in the results.
In general one may distinguish between two types of non-response: unit non-response
and item non-response. Unit non-response pertains to the non-response of a whole unit,
such as a household. In that case almost nothing is known about that household.
275
Item non-response pertains to the lack of information on a specific item for a unit, for
instance that a person does not answer questions about income. Here we will only
consider unit non response.
Unit non-response: the household
The results of the interviews or attempted interviews can be studied using a
classification of non-response in the questionnaire, derived from Hidiroglou, Drew and
Gray (1993). The response categories in the framework are given in Table 9.
The framework is built around the observation that an interview can be missing for
two reasons. First, it may be that the selected household does not belong to the sampling
frame. This is the case for instance for diplomats which were not considered eligible.
Second, a selected household, which actually exists and is eligible, may refuse, or not be
found at home. Also, the classification has to take into account that there will be some
situations where the interviewer cannot determine if a household exists or not.
Interviewers also sometimes encounter the situation that the household is available for
interview, but that no useful information can be obtained because the respondent is sick
or otherwise incapable of answering.
For the cases that have interview status not determined, it may have possibility of being
interviewed. Therefore, they are reallocated proportionally between category non-
response and no interview possible.
Table 9 Response categories
Category Response type
1 Interview completed Interview is possible (response)
2 Partly completed Interview is possible (non-response)
3 No usable information (for instance because Interview is possible, non-response
the respondent was sick, mentally ill, not really
co-operating)
4 Status not determined (The field work team Not clear, usually distributed over
could not find out if a household was living at possible interview and not possible
the address)
5 Dwelling unit did not exist No interview possible
6 Dwelling unit was vacant No interview possible
7 Dwelling unit is under construction No interview possible
8 Not eligible No interview possible
9 No contact (the household exists, but could not Interview is possible, non-response
be found at home)
10 Refusal Interview is possible, non-response
11 Refusal converted by supervisor (The Interview is possible (response)
respondent initially refused, but co-operated
after a visit by the supervisor)
276
A number of rates can be computed from the above framework as indicated by the table
below.
In the HCDWS survey, the response categories are adjusted to the Table 10.
Table 10 Response category in HCDWS survey
Category Response type
1 Interview start Interview is possible (response)
2 Status not determined Not clear, usually distributed over possible interview and not possible
3 Dwelling not exist No interview possible
4 Dwelling vacant No interview possible
5 Dwelling under construction No interview possible
6 Not eligible are non-existent No interview possible
7 Partly completed Interview is possible (non-response)
8 No contact Interview is possible (non-response)
9 Refusal converted Interview is possible (response)
10 No usable information Interview is possible (non-response)
11 Refusal Interview is possible (non-response)
12 Incapacity Interview is possible (non-response)
13 Absent for a long period Interview is possible (non-response)
Non-response correction
Non-response always occurs. Nevertheless, since the extent and seriousness of non-
response vary, the plan of non-response correction must be reconsidered after the
fieldwork.
Weight adjustment and estimation weights
When there is unit non-response, direct use of the sampling weights will result in biased
estimation. The biases generally take two forms. One is that when totals are estimated
with sampling expansion weights, the total will be too small because non-response
implies that units that should be added into the total are missing. The other form is that
estimation may be biased because non-responding units may have particular
characteristics.
One way to reduce the biases produced by unit non-response is to adjust the sampling
weights. The method of correction of the weights for non-response that is used here, is
the so-called “adjustment cell method” (see for instance Lehtonen and Pahkinen 1995;
Little and Rubin 1987). In this approach, households that are considered to be fairly
similar are identified and the non-response rate calculated for each group of households,
called adjustment cells. In line with the description above, when non-response rates are
calculated, only the non-response of those that could have responded but for some
reason did not do so is considered.
The inverse of the response rate in each adjustment cell was then used to adjust the
sampling weights for each household. The result is the so-called estimation weight. The
weighted sample size is now as it would have been if all households had responded. The
277
effect is also to increase the relative contribution to the estimates of units that are similar
to those missing.
In the present study the adjustment cells used are likely to consist of a number of
geographically adjacent PSUs.
Using the notation in Table 11, the correction factor to the weights for non-response is
given in Equation 10.
Table 11: Notation for non-response adjustment
Symbol Explanation
C Adjustment (Correction) factor
A Index of adjustment cell
hr Responding households
hf Non responding households
The number of possible interviews (i.e. the denominator in the non-response rate) is the
sum of categories 1, 2, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 in Table 8. The number of non-respondent
units is the sum of the categories 7, 8, 10, 11, 12 and 13. The Status Not Determined
category is proportional allocated to non-respondent category.
Equation 10 Non-response correction ratio
1
Ca =
har
har + haf
The weights are then adjusted according to the following equations:
Equation 11 Weight correction according to non-response
Wi estimation = CiWi e
Equation 12 Relative weight
Wi e ,estimation
Wi r ,estimation
=
∑ Wi e,estimation
n
The effect of the corrections is that the expansion weights are increased so that the sum
of the estimation expansion weights corresponds to the sum of units in the sample frame
(less non-existent or non-eligible units). The relative estimation weights are normalised.
This means that the sum of the weights is the sum of the household records in the data
file.
This type of non-response correction will be carried out for the household and the RSI
responses. For each, adjustment cells will be formed by concatenating neighbour
implicit strata within stratum.
278
One should note that additional weight adjustment or post stratification of the sample
will not be conducted. Post-stratifying to the 2003 Census is probably not useful, as the
census is too old and there is too much population movement in Haiti. There is also no
obvious other data set that can be used for adjustment procedures.
Extreme weights correction
Correction is also done to the extreme weights, following the rules that the maximum of
weights should not be higher than median+2*standard deviation; the minimum of
weights should not be lower than 1/3 of median.
Relative weights
Considering the lack of calibration of the sample expansion weights based on the
population information, relative weights are suggested to be used for both households
and RSI respondents.
Relative weights are kept for the households and child respondents with interview status
to be ‘complete interview’, ‘refusal converted’ and ‘partly complete interview’.
Sampling errors
Sampling errors for a survey with complex design cannot be calculated using ordinary
statistical procedures in statistical software such as SPSS or Stata, because such software
assumes simple random sampling.
Therefore sampling errors can be calculated using SPSS Complex samples, SUDAAN or
Stata (the svy-procedures). Such softwares take account of the sample design in
calculation of sampling errors, using (in this case) a linearization approach to estimation.

This report presents the tabulations from the Haiti Child Domestic Workers Survey (HCDWS
2014), a national household survey. The tabulation report documents the working and living Child domestic workers
in Haiti 2014: Tabulation report
conditions of child domestic workers relative to other children, the characteristics of the
households where they live and perceptions of child relocation among Haitians.
The HCDWS 2014 is a part of the Haiti Child Domestic Worker Project. The main objective of
the project is to establish a better understanding of the phenomenon and developments of
children in domesticity in Haiti based on qualitative and quantitative data material, as well
mapping the existing institutional responses.
