Mortality, fertility, and child labor
چکیده انگلیسی
We examine the persistence of child labor when adult mortality is endogenous. Children provide current consumption through child labor and future consumption via an informal social security arrangement. Poorer parents, unable to invest much in their health, face higher mortality and send their children to work instead of school. Fertility decisions exacerbate the problem as parents substitute towards quantity investment in children.
