Trabajando con mis padres: el efecto del mercado laboral adulto sobre el trabajo infantil en Colombia

Author

Abstract

El trabajo infantil puede ser una condición que atente contra la acumulación de capital humano, en la medida que impide el acceso efectivo a educación de calidad. Por otro lado, el trabajo infantil se puede dar como un mecanismo de suavización de ingresos frente a choques negativos a la oferta laboral del hogar, o como complemento de la oferta laboral adulta en el hogar. Este documento busca separar e identificar el efecto complementario y de sustitución entre el trabajo infantil y la oferta laboral adulta. Se encuentra que el trabajo infantil y el trabajo adulto son complementarios dentro del hogar, y que esta complementariedad es robusta ante distintas especificaciones. A su vez, esta complementariedad también se presenta cuando el trabajo de los ninos no está directamente relacionado con los negocios del hogar.
