Child Labor Opinion Survey - Methodology - Actual Survey
Question #1 How old are you? Choices:
Scenarios Question #2 Kumar, who is 10 years old, works as a domestic servant for a family in Bangladesh. He works because his parents cannot afford to feed or clothe him. His employer gives him food, clothes, and payment for his services, though the payment goes to his parents. Kumar lives with his employers. Though he does not go to school, his employer spends time to educate him, and he gets some free time. His employer is fair with him and does not abuse him. Choices:
Raju, who is 12 years old, works at a beedi (type of Indian cigarette) making factory in Tamil Nadu, India. A beedi agent "loaned" his parents 1,000 rupees (approximately 28.30 U.S. dollars) in exchange for Raju’s labor. Raju makes 5 rupees a day for rolling 1,500 beedies. Theoretically, this money is deducted from the original loan (1,000 rupees), but due to his employer’s high interest rates, deductions for food, etc., and faulty accounting, the amount Raju and his parents have to pay off is actually increasing. He works for 14 hours a day, 6 days per week, and has been working like this for 5 years. He is regularly beaten by his agent when he slows down or fails to meet his quota each day. He now has back pain, stunted growth, and pain in his hands due to the hours he spends bent over at the factory and the repetitive rolling motion of his hands. Choices:
Tim, who is 15 years old, works at a fast food restaurant of 15 employees in Oregon (in the United States) over the summer. His employer makes about $200,000 in gross annual sales. He gets paid $6.90 per hour and works 7 hours a day, 5 days a week. He works only during the summer, and therefore, goes to school at other times of the year. He does not work at night. He likes making the extra cash and enjoys the new responsibilities he gets when he works. Choices:
