在发展中国家，很少有问题能像童工问题那样引起人们如此广泛的关注。本文首先对童工的范围和主要特征进行了量化。然后，它考虑了有关童工的一系列问题的证据。从根本上说，童工是贫穷的一种症状。低收入和贫穷的机构是全球童工盛行的驱动力。本研究最后评估了减少全球童工的政策选择。
Few issues in developing countries draw as much popular attention as child labor. This paper begins by quantifying the extent and main characteristics of child labor. It then considers the evidence on a range of issues about child labor. Fundamentally, child labor is a symptom of poverty. Low income and poor institutions are driving forces behind the prevalence of child labor worldwide. This study concludes by assessing the policy options to reduce worldwide child labor.
