According to the International Labor
Organization, 120 million children work full-time worldwide.
Virtually all live in poor countries. Legislation has been
passed to ban child labor, but it is not enforced or does
not address the root causes of the practices such as low
income and the opportunity costs of a child's attending
school rather than contributing to household income. "A
Four-Country Comparative Study of Child Labor" by
Christiaan Grootaert and Harry Anthony Patrinos was
presented at the Economics of Child Labor Conference in
Oslo, in May 2002. The paper was based on a longer study
focused on the labor supply decision by the household and
identified the key factors affecting child labor, most
notably household size and composition, education and
employment status of parents, the household's ability
to cope with fluctuations on the supply side, and the
functioning of the labor market and the prevailing
technologies on the demand side. |
