利用坦桑尼亚农村微观数据,研究发现改善学校可达性提高了入学率,但并未显著减少童工劳动。

Abstract

Abstract 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.
