Child Labor , Heterogeneity , School Performance , School Performance AssessmentAbstract
In this study we estimated the impact of child labor on school performance among elementary public-school students in the state of Paraná, assessing the role of heterogeneity in the magnitude of the impact. For this purpose, we used data from Prova Brasil from 2007 to 2015, concerning 5th and 9th grade students. The impact was measured with the Propensity Score Matching (PSM) method. Results show that there is no evidence of significant temporal changes in child labor levels in the state, although a slight tendency to its reduction is observed. Students who work at home and in the market tend to have a worse academic performance. Such negative effect is less clear in some mesoregions, proving that this impact is heterogeneous.
