I am doing research on artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) and its potential for socio-economic development. Over and above assessing the contribution of ASM is to socio-economic development e.g. job creation, poverty alleviation etc. I would like to get a sense of the impact of ASM as a livelihood option to the wellbeing of the miners (their families and communities). I have been looking at frameworks for assessing well-being e.g. OECD but still struggle as to what questions or how should I structure the questionnaires in order to make sure I get the right data that would allow me to paint the right picture.
Since a lot of these are likely to be gold miners, the first question I would ask is whether or not they use mercury to extract gold.
the first hello( اول سلام)
your idea is very amazizg for me and i think i can help you, so you can send your information on the this topic for me
Hello! I am also in the process of elaborating the methodology of my thesis. I think this article "Extractive industries and poverty: A review of recent findings and linkage mechanisms (Gamu, Billon, Spiegel, 2015)" may be a way for you to think about elaborating your questions.
Thank you all for your inputs. I am reading the paper suggested by Lilian.
