“…Nicolella et al (2008) show that children working in agriculture have the same chances of health problems compared to children working in other occupations. Feitosa and Dimenstein (2004) interview mothers of children working in agricultural enterprises and conclude that the parents of such children were themselves likely to have worked as children; such parents consider work to be a good alternative to children being in the streets or engaged in criminal activities.…”

Kids at risk: children's employment in hazardous occupations in Brazil

While the literature on child labor in Brazil is large, it is not comprehensive: in particular, there are few studies on children's work in risky occupations, and those that exist tend to be qualitative and based on limited samples. In this paper, we aim to paint a broader picture of children's engagement in risky labor force work, based on quantitative evidence from PNAD data. We document associations between parental characteristics and children's work, using both descriptive statistics and multivariate modeling to understand the determinants of child participation in risky labor force work. Brazilian children engaged in risky occupations are less likely than other employed children to be enrolled in school, and more likely to work long hours and experience a variety of working conditions that may be unsafe. Parental education, indicators of household wealth and owning a family farm are particularly strongly associated with the incidence of risky work among children, and girls are over-represented in risky jobs due to their work in domestic service.

O objetivo deste trabalho é investigar o trabalho infantil perigoso utilizando os dados da PNAD, complementando os estudos qualitativos já existentes, por meio de análises descritivas e um modelo multivariado.

“…There are few studies, however, that go into detail about specific occupations of children in Brazil, 3 let alone those considered risky, in spite of the need for more targeted policy interventions in this area (examples include Cruz & Assunção, 2008;Grugel & Ferreira, 2012;Lamarão, 2000;Nicolella, Kassouf & de Barros, 2008;Saboia, 2000). Among those papers dealing with risky child labour in Brazil, the majority derive from qualitative studies of small numbers of children using non-representative samples.…”

There were large numbers of child workers in domestic services, street work, construction and selected areas of agricultural production in Brazil at the turn of the century. These kinds of occupations are often problematic for youth. We show that children engaged in these risky categories of work are more disadvantaged than other employed children and non-employed children. Results from a large representative survey show that children in 'risky' work are more likely to have parents also engaged in hazardous activities or be living without both parents, characteristics that may be useful for targeting policy.

“…Em anos específicos, a pesquisa conduz um suplemento de saúde concomitante à pesquisa sobre traba-lho e rendimentos. No entanto, até onde se sabe, apenas estudos utilizando modelos econométri-cos têm buscado fazer associações entre trabalho infantil e condições de saúde a partir dos dados provenientes da PNAD 19,20 .…”
