本研究利用纵向调查（涵盖埃塞俄比亚、印度和越南）的时间使用数据，探讨了儿童花在不同活动上的时间如何影响他们认知和非认知技能的获得。通过对儿童的技能形成生产函数进行建模，并将输入范围扩大到包括儿童自己的时间投入，该研究发现，儿童参与家务和有偿活动等工作活动与认知和非认知成就的减少有关。结果表明，童工通过减少学习时间对技能发展产生间接的不利影响。所有研究国家以及幼儿和青少年的结果都是一致的。这些结果对于各种规格检查也是稳健的。
Using time-use data from a longitudinal survey (covering Ethiopia, India and Vietnam), the present study examines how the amount of time children spend on different activities impacts their acquisition of cognitive and non-cognitive skills. Modeling the skill formation production function of children and extending the set of inputs to include the child's own time inputs, the study finds that child involvement in work activities such as domestic chores and paid activities are associated with a reduction in both cognitive and non-cognitive achievements. The results imply that there is an indirect adverse effect of child work on skill development through the reduction of hours of study. The results are consistent across all the study countries and for both young children and adolescents. These results are also robust to a variety of specification checks.
