“…Entrepreneurship courses and programs are offered at universities, high schools, secondary schools, and even at primary schools. This growing interest in entrepreneurship education is due to the fact that the latter has been found to lead to students and young individuals nurturing a lasting interest for entrepreneurship (Torimiro and Dionco-Adetayo, 2005). Furthermore, governments and policymakers have to come to believe that small businesses launched by entrepreneurs are a viable alternative solution to youth (un)employment.…”

The present research is designed to identify the appropriate and relevant objectives that need to be pursued through entrepreneurial activities targeting elementary school children. It assesses the effectiveness of early entrepreneurship education. To do so, children aged 11 and 12 attended an entrepreneurial program and completed two versions of the same questionnaire before and after the program. We measured the development of three outcome sets of skills: non-cognitive entrepreneurial skills, cognitive entrepreneurial skills, and intentions to become an entrepreneur. The change in the dependent variable (the three sets of skills) is measured by the difference in this scale between using paired-sample t-test. Gender and parents’ occupation were controlled for. The findings of this study confirm that late childhood (11–12 years old) seems to be the adequate period in order to develop self-efficacy, a non-cognitive skill required to become an entrepreneur. Nonetheless, cognitive entrepreneurial skills and entrepreneurial intentions did not change after the program.

“…UNICEF defines child labor based on the age of the child and work that exceeds a set number of hours per week: "Age 5-11: at least one hour of economic work or 28 hours of domestic work; Ages 12-14: at least 14 hours of economic work or 28 hours of domestic work; Ages 15-17: at least 43 hours of economic work or domestic work" (UNICEF, 2008, definition). Although these two definitions seem clear, some families involve their children in economic activities (e.g., a family business) as a way of instilling entrepreneurial skills in their children (Torimiro & Dionco-Adetayo, 2005). Such an economic activity may not be hazardous to a child's development 2…”

The impact of assets on child well-being in developing countries has received considerable attention in the last decade. Increased recognition of the critical role played by assets in enhancing children's well-being has spurred efforts to study the relationship between assets and a range of outcomes for children. This chapter reviews current studies (i.e., conducted within the past 10 years) that explore the relationship of asset ownership and a range of outcomes. The studies we have included in this review illustrate the impact that assets can have on children's outcomes in the area of health, education, and child labor. Overall, the studies reviewed show that asset ownership improves children's health conditions, advance schooling outcomes, and decrease incidence of child labor. Further research on the asset effects for child outcomes can inform progressive asset-building initiatives that will provide impetus for programs and policies to enhance household well-being in developing countries.

“…Beberapa penelitian menemukan bahwa kepemilikan lahan dan peternakan serta rumah tangga yang memiliki usaha menunjukkan peningkatan partisipasi pekerja anak (Admassie, 2002;Bhalotra dan Heady, 2003;Bar dan Basu, 2009). Beberapa rumah tangga melibatkan anak-anak mereka bekerja dalam kegiatan ekonomi (misalnya, bisnis keluarga) sebagai cara menanamkan keterampilan kewirausahaan pada anak-anak mereka (Torimiro dan Dionco-Adetayo, 2005). Namun, beberapa peneliti lain menemukan bahwa efek pendapatan dari aset rumah tangga dapat meningkatkan kesempatan anak untuk sekolah (Jensen dan Nielsen, 1997;Khan, 2003;Bacolod dan Ranjan, 2008).…”

This study aims to look at the effect of productive assets and nonproductive household assets on school children's decisions and work in Indonesia by using ordered probit estimation techniques. The data used in this study are IFLS 2007. There are four school decisions, and work children sorted from the worst conditions to the best, namely children not in school and not working, children working, school and working children, and school children. The Principal Component Analysis (PCA) method calculates the Nonproductive asset index. This study found that productive assets and nonproductive assets of the household allow children to go to school and reduce the likelihood of children to work.
