论文摘要
根据对西孟加拉邦的现场调查，本文调查了边缘农民家庭的学龄儿童是全职付费劳动者还是未付的家庭劳动者以及学校或普通学生。此处使用概率回归分析来评估减少童劳动力大小的影响因素。结果表明，家庭成年成员的收入越高，童工的发生率越低。此外，母亲从自助团体中的信用可及性以及在参考年份工作中的父亲的更多人物也负责减少孩子变成劳动的可能性。这项研究进一步表明，父亲的年龄，父亲的教育以及低运营土地所有权是积极而重要的决定因素，可以通过限制其过多的家庭工作负担来决定儿童教育。
Based on the field investigation of West Bengal, this paper investigates whether the school-aged children of the marginal farmer households are full-time paid labourers or unpaid domestic labourers along with schooling or regular students. Probit Regression analysis is applied here to assess the influencing factors for reducing the size of the child labour force in practice. The result shows that the higher is the earning of the adult members of the households, the lower is the incidence of child labour. Moreover, the credit accessibility of the mother from the Self-help group and more person-days of the father in work in a reference year are also responsible for reducing the possibility of a child turning into labour. The study further suggests that the younger age of the father, education of fathers, and low operational landholdings are positive and significant determinants to decide on a child education by restricting their excessive domestic work burden.
