TY - RPRT AU - Cigno, Alessandro TI - The Supply of Child Labour PY - 2004/Apr/ PB - Institute of Labor Economics (IZA) CY - Bonn T2 - IZA Discussion Paper IS - 1114 UR - https://www.iza.org/index.php/publications/dp1114 AB - The paper develops a theoretical framework, and a diagrammatic apparatus, for explaining the supply of child labour. It examines the effect of credit, insurance, and poverty (defined as more than just low income). It also explains bonded child labour, a modern form of slavery closely associated with the worst forms of child exploitation. The analysis is positive, but provides some of the elements for a normative judgement. KW - insurance KW - child labour KW - bonded labour KW - education KW - health KW - credit KW - poverty ER -
