Child Labor in Transition in Vietnam
Vietnam experienced a dramatic decline in child labor during the 1990s. The authors explore this decline in detail and document the heterogeneity across households in both levels of child labor and in the incidence of this decline in child labor. The authors find a strong correlation between living standards improvements and child labor so that much of the variation in declines in child labor can be explained by variation in living standards improvements. Ethnic minority children and the children of recent migrants appear to remain particularly vulnerable even by the late 1990s. Children of all ethnicities in the Central Highlands appear to have missed many of the improvements in the 1990s, while children in the rural Mekong and in Provincial Towns have experienced the largest declines in child labor. The results suggest embedding efforts against child labor within an overall antipoverty program. The authors find that the opening or closing of household enterprises seems to be associated with increases in child labor. So attention should be devoted to the activities of children in the government's current program to stimulate nonfarm enterprises.

Vietnam experienced a dramatic decline
in child labor during the 1990s. The authors explore this
decline in detail and document the heterogeneity across
households in both levels of child labor and in the
incidence of this decline in child labor. The authors find a
strong correlation between living standards improvements and
child labor so that much of the variation in declines in
child labor can be explained by variation in living
standards improvements. Ethnic minority children and the
children of recent migrants appear to remain particularly
vulnerable even by the late 1990s. Children of all
ethnicities in the Central Highlands appear to have missed
many of the improvements in the 1990s, while children in the
rural Mekong and in Provincial Towns have experienced the
largest declines in child labor. The results suggest
embedding efforts against child labor within an overall
antipoverty program. The authors find that the opening or
closing of household enterprises seems to be associated with
increases in child labor. So attention should be devoted to
the activities of children in the government's current
program to stimulate nonfarm enterprises. |
