Resumo: | This article studies the effect of family wealth on the utilization of child labor in rural Brazil. Regarding methodology, the censored quantile instrumental variable (CQIV) was used to capture heterogeneity across the distribution of hours worked by children, also it deals with the problems of censorship and endogeneity. This paper found evidences of a negative relation between wealth, measured by land size, and child labor only for children in the lower quantiles of the distribution. On the other hand, at the median and upper quantiles this research found a non-linear relationship, supporting the hypothesis of “U invertido”. And the turning point is bigger at the upper quantile, where families have lower level of altruism. The results indicate that the preferences of the parents are the primary determinant of child labor. |

No tocante à metodologia, para captar heterogeneidades na distribuição de horas trabalhadas das crianças e lidar com os problemas de censura e endogeneidade, utiliza-se o estimador censored quantile instrumental cariable (CQIV). Os resultados mostram uma relação negativa entre riqueza, medida pelo tamanho da propriedade de terra, e trabalho infantil no quantil inferior de horas de trabalho, enquanto nos quantis médio e superior, uma relação não linear, corroborando a hipótese do “U” invertido. Destaca-se que o turning point é maior no quantil superior, no qual as famílias têm menor nível de altruísmo. De forma geral, os principais achados deste estudo apontam as preferências dos pais como principal determinante do trabalho infantil.UFRGS2019-04-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/AnaliseEconomica/article/view/7132410.22456/2176-5456.71324Análise Econômica; Vol. 37 No. 72 (2019): Março 2019Análise Econômica; v. 37 n. 72 (2019): Março 20192176-54560102-9924reponame:Análise Econômica (Online)instname:Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)instacron:UFRGSporhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/AnaliseEconomica/article/view/71324/52467Copyright (c) 2019 Análise Econômicainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMesquita, Shirley Pereira deLima, Luiz Renato Regis de Oliveira2019-05-06T00:42:41Zoai:seer.ufrgs.br:article/71324Revistahttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/AnaliseEconomicaPUBhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/AnaliseEconomica/oai||rae@ufrgs.br2176-54560102-9924opendoar:2019-05-06T00:42:41Análise Econômica (Online) - Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)false |
