ACEVEDO GONZALEZ, KARINA; QUEJADA PEREZ, RAÚL y YANEZ CONTRERAS, MARTHA. DETERMINANTS AND CONSEQUENCES OF CHILD LABOR: ANALYSIS OF LITERATURE. Rev.fac.cienc.econ. [online]. 2011, vol.19, n.1, pp.113-124. ISSN 0121-6805.
This paper presents the results of a systematic review of literature that analyses one of more complex phenomena in labor market: child labor. This exercise shows that major theoretical and empirical developments are focused in the study of minor work and human capital variables relationship, specially, education and health; complex relationships because there is not a strong evidence of the negative effects of child labor on these variables. This paper outlines that with earliest literature developments, hypothesis such as "luxury axiom" have been disorted, which attributes the problem to poverty, and appear wider approaches that include imperfect market effects, migrations and transfer programs on study phenomenon.
