The previous chapters have shown that working as a child is associated with lower wages and higher incidence of poverty as an adult. Because wages rise with years of education, it is clear that if child labor reduces years of schooling completed, adult wages will be reduced. Numerous studies have linked child labor with lower grade attainment. However, the evidence in chapter 5 suggests that child labor lowers the rate of return per year of education, consistent with the possibility that child labor lowers the amount of human capital produced per grade completed. Although plausible, the link between child labor and student achievement in primary schools is not well understood. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
