Definition
CHLHHWORKHRS reports the number of hours the child household member selected for the child labor module (CHLHHINDEX) worked in paid employment or non-paid work in a family business (but not domestic tasks) in the past week.
The information in CHLHHWORKHRS is taken from the household record and applies to regular household residents, not temporary visitors. Researchers may wish to exclude visitors using the RESIDENT variable (with visitors coded "2") when women, children, or births are the unit of analysis, and using the HHRESIDENT variable when household members are the unit of analysis.
