The problem
Intervention: Comparison of emotional and behavioural outcomes between child labourers and school-going children from matched socio-economic backgrounds
Who it was tested with: 500 child labourers and 500 school-going children aged 7-14 years in Delhi slums, matched on socio-economic indicators.
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.
"A study was conducted in Delhi amongst the child labour and school-going children of the same socio-economic background, in this case the slums of Delhi (India) to study the behavior patterns of the children. Children within age group of 7-14 years were selected between school going and child labour category." This represents a structured comparison of two groups from matched backgrounds to identify differences in emotional and behavioural outcomes.
Cross-sectional design prevents causal inference; specific emotional/behavioural domains measured by SDQ not detailed; types and duration of child labour not specified; no information on effect sizes or statistical significance reported in the abstract.
