本文考察了出生顺序对家庭内部分配的影响，巴西儿童的童工发生率和入学率证明了这一点。先前的研究发现，早出生的孩子可能拥有更多的家庭内部资源，成年后也会有更好的表现。在童工的背景下，出生顺序的影响可能会被这样一个事实所混淆：早出生的孩子比晚出生的兄弟姐妹能够获得比他们更年轻的孩子上学更高的工资，而最后出生的男孩比早出生的兄弟姐妹更不可能成为童工。(C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd版权所有。
This paper examines the effects of birth order on intra-household allocations as evidenced by the child labor incidence and school attendance of Brazilian children. Previous studies have found that earlier born children may have more intra-household resources directed to them, and better outcomes as adults. In the context of child labor, the effects of birth order can be confounded by the fact that earlier born children are able to command higher wages than their younger attend school than their later born siblings and male last-born children are less likely to work as child laborers than their earlier born siblings.
