Title
Artisanal gold mining pays
Author
Abstract
Artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) provides incomes to an estimated 42 million of individuals around the world, yet systematic data on miners’ earnings are lacking. To remedy this, we developed a sampling and survey method. In a recent paper we apply our method to calculate earnings in a sample of 453 artisanal miners in Kamituga, the largest gold mining town in DR Congo’s South Kivu province.
