The problem
Intervention: Natural variation in child labour exposure (domestic chores and household farm work) during childhood
Who it was tested with: Children aged 7-15 in Kagera region, Tanzania in the 1990s, followed to adulthood in 2000s.
Experience from people who deliver programmes: stories, case studies and lessons learned. Valuable for understanding how and why, and for spotting what to test next, but not a measure of effect.
"We select children who were seven to 15 years old in the 1990s and follow up with them in the first decade of the 2000s to study the consequences of child labour on their status in employment in adulthood. We estimate fixed effects linear probability models." This is a longitudinal panel design with statistical controls for time-invariant individual characteristics, allowing estimation of child labour effects on employment outcomes.
Study limited to one region of Tanzania; does not establish causal mechanisms; does not clearly define 'vulnerable employment'; potential unmeasured confounding variables
