This article analyzes the determinants of school attendance and hours worked by children in Pakistan and Nicaragua. A theoretical model of children's labor supply is used to simultaneously estimate the school attendance decision and the hours worked, using a full model maximum likelihood estimator. The model analyzes the marginal effects of explanatory variables, conditioning on latent states, that is, the propensity of the household to send the child to work or not. These marginal effects are in some cases rather different across latent states, with important policy implications. 2014-03-04T17:36:33Z 2014-03-04T17:36:33Z 2003-05 Journal Article http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2002/05/17742408/childrens-working-hours-school-enrollment-evidence-pakistan-nicaragua World Bank Economic Review http://hdl.handle.net/10986/17206 English en_US CC BY-NC-ND 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/igo World Bank Washington, DC: World Bank Publications & Research :: Journal Article Publications & Research Latin America & Caribbean South Asia Nicaragua Pakistan
