Abstract

Abstract Children throughout the world are engaged in activities that can be classified as work. Some of these are harmless like helping parents in the home, or have a valuable learning-by-doing component like helping in the family farm or family business. Others are dangerous or morally degrading. All, however, compete with formal education. The book provides a blend of theory, empirical analysis and policy discussion of child labour and related variables such as education, fertility and infant mortality. It is primarily intended for advanced and research students. This second edition presents further evidence of the factors that determine the demand and supply of child labour, the demand for education, and of the nexus between child labour, education, fertility, and health. A new chapter assesses the effectiveness of the policies that are actually carried out in developing countries for the specific purpose of curbing child labour.
