摘要：

This paper shows how poverty in combination with credit constraints can give rise to the phenomenon of child labor in developing countries. It further shows how banning child labor can reduce the welfare of the households intending to send their children to work, and suggests some alternative policies. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science S.A.
