| contents | Child labour, education and export performance David Kucera Ritash Sarna Uses a gravity trade model to estimate the effects of child labour and education on exports from 1993 to 1999, evaluating total exports, total manufacturing exports and manufacturing exports broken down by labour and skill intensity of production using four different classifications of industries. Includes data for up to 162 countries and employs several indicators of child labour (the economic activity rate of ten to fourteen year olds and secondary education non-enrollment rates) and education (average years of educational attainment and literacy rates). Provides evidence that child labour is bad and education is good for exports, including for unskilled labour-intensive manufacturing exports for which results are generally similar to total manufacturing exports. These findings hold for both full samples of developed and developing countries and for samples including only developing countries as exporters. Working paper (International Labour Organization. Policy Integration Department), no. 52, ILO publication.encyclopediaEntry |
