The Decision-making process of working, with special reference to the Girl Beedi rollers in Jhalda region of Purulia, West Bengal -- Chapter 5. Income shocks and child labor: evidence from the Dominican Republic -- Chapter 6. The effects of migration on child education and on engagement in different types of child labor in Vietnam: A simultaneous equation approach -- Chapter 7. The effect of child labor on primary education in Brazil -- Chapter 8. The role of parental characteristics on child labor participation and hours worked in Cameroon -- Chapter 9. Child Labor in a Pastoral Tribe of Jammu and Kashmir: Impact of Spatiality within a State of Conflict -- Chapter 10. Overall policy findings.

This book provides new evidence of the theoretical and empirical causes and consequences of child labor. In so doing, the chapters provide a unique set of policy prescriptions that are applicable to both the developing countries that make up the case studies of the volume, as well as other countries more broadly. The volume is constructed to inform policy with rigorous analysis. However, unlike most academic studies, the language and flavour of the volume is largely non-technical, while the policy recommendations are practical. The volume is made up of three sections. The first section builds on the existing literature and provides new theoretical insights into child labor. Section 2 provides empirical evidence from both quantitative and qualitative case studies on child labor from across Asia, Africa and Latin America. This section provides information from studies conducted in Brazil, Cameroon, the Dominican Republic, India and Vietnam. Section 3 provides policy recommendations.
