The study shows that 70% were female while the rest were males. Furthermore, it showed
that most household heads had completed primary grade at 60%. The study further shows that
most households were not in the substance economy at 94% and that nearly all household
were not practicing child labor at 99.9%. The study also shows that majority of households
were poor at 63% and most household heads were aged 21-30 at 27.75%.
It’s concluded that male household heads were less likely to be currently taking alcohol than
their female counterparts while household heads with a higher grade completion were less
likely to currently be taking alcohol than those who had only completed some primary
education. Furthermore, its concluded that household heads with bigger household sizes
were more likely to currently take alcohol than smaller household heads. Also, household
heads whose households dont practices child labour are less likely to currently take
alcohol(relative to not having ever taken alcohol) than their counterparts who practice child.
labor while non-poor households are more likely to currently take alcohol (relative to not
having ever taken alcohol) than their poor counterparts. | en_US |
