The problem
Intervention: None - this is an observational study examining the natural consequences of child labour
Who it was tested with: Individuals in Ghana who were engaged in child labour, drawn from the Ghana Living Standards Survey.
Experience from people who deliver programmes: stories, case studies and lessons learned. Valuable for understanding how and why, and for spotting what to test next, but not a measure of effect.
"the study employs propensity score and nearest neighbour matching techniques to account for the possible self-selection in engaging in child labour activities. Also, the multinomial logit model was employed to determine the choice of occupations" - the use of matching techniques with observational data and comparison groups elevates this to experimental tier, though causality remains uncertain.
Cross-sectional design limits causal inference; reliance on retrospective reports of childhood labour; unmeasured confounding factors not addressed by matching alone
