School Proximity and Child Labor: Evidence from Rural Tanzania
利用坦桑尼亚农村微观数据，研究学校可达性改善能否减少童工，发现学校距离近提高了入学率，但并未显著降低童工劳动。
Is improved school accessibility an effective policy tool for reducing child labor in developing countries? We address this question using microdata from rural Tanzania and a regression strategy that attempts to control for nonrandom location of households around schools as well as classical and nonclassical measurement error in self-reported distance to school. Our analysis shows that school proximity leads to a rise in school attendance but no significant fall in child labor.
