Poverty Alleviation and Child Labor
在厄瓜多尔随机给贫困有孩家庭发放现金补助（金额不到童工收入中位数的20%），发现上学家庭用这笔钱推迟孩子进入劳动力市场，学生受雇劳动减少78%，家庭内无偿经济活动减少32%。
Poor women with children in Ecuador were selected at random for a cash transfer that is less than 20 percent of median child labor earnings. Poor families with children in school at the time of the award use the transfer to postpone the child's entry into the labor force. Students in families induced to take up the transfer by the experiment reduce paid employment by 78 percent and unpaid economic activity inside their home by 32 percent. Time in unpaid household services increases, but overall time spent working declines.
