        %X There is no empirical evidence that trade exposure per se increases child labour. As trade
theory and household economics lead us to expect, the cross-country evidence seems to
indicate that trade reduces or, at worst, has no significant effect on child labour. Consistently
with the theory, a comparatively well educated labour force, and active social policies, appear
to be conducive to a reduction in child labour. For countries with a largely uneducated
workforce, the problem is not so much globalisation, as being allowed to take part in it.
