Item Restricted Wealth determinants of household decision on child work(2008-10) Dinglasan, Katrina May J.This paper is a study on how different wealth variables affect the probability a child whose age is between 5 to 14 years old would engage in work. The kind of work specified in this paper is distinct from the official definition of child labor according to the International Labor Organization. It proceeds by estimating 3 regression models using Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) method, each model differing on the independent variables involved. The estimation makes use of data from the National Statistics Office 2001 Survey on Children. As the results show, all three models consistently show that income increases and ownership of other assets are correlated with less child work incidence. Simulating the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Programa provisions of how much to endow eligible households, it was shown that increasing the household income does decrease the probability a child would work in a household, but only by small amounts.
