This Note presents a situation analysis of the current skills set and employment outcomes of adolescents (aged 15-19 years) in Zambia, with a focus on adolescent girls. The main source of data is several rounds of the Zambia Labor Force Survey (years 2005, 2008, 2012). The data reveal that although adolescent girls are more economically active than their male counterparts, they are also more likely to be engaged in part-time employment, be unemployed, and earn less than their male counterparts. However, little is known about how these trends affect choices made by adolescent girls and their households.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
