“…In addition, Basu (1999Basu ( , 2001Basu ( , 2005 provides an extensive elaboration of the pathology behind child labor. Basu and Van (1998) and Kitaura (2009) develop theoretical frameworks to explain the links across policy, wages and the possible income and substitution effects on child labor. The literature on the child labor phenomenon also reflects some disagreements, notably in what constitutes child labor.…”

“…Poverty is a major factor that drives child labor (Basu & Van, 1998). In addition, the high cost of schooling lowers the likelihood of children enrolling in school, particularly children from poor households (Kitaura, 2009;Hunt, 2008;Hammond, Linton, Smink, & Drew, 2007). Moreover, students are more likely to drop out of school if it is difficult to access a school, due to such factors as traveling long distances with poor road conditions (Hunt, 2008).…”

Lao PDR experienced a high rate of out of school children in the last decade, while its economy grew averaging 6.96% from 1989 until 2017. A high growth in certain economic sectors (e.g., agriculture or services) may inadvertently induce students to leave school to work directly, and also indirectly encourage them to leave school to replace adult labor in the household. The current research targets to examine the impact of the growth of the sectors on out-of-school children in primary and lower secondary education. The analysis uses household data from 2012 and employs a multinomial logit model. The results suggest that the growth in the agricultural and service sectors reduces the possibility of school-age children in school enrollment. Moreover, it increases the probability of never enrolled and school dropout.
