A review paper on child labor in China

The first comprehensive research of child labor in China is presented. Child labor is not a minor social issue in China; in 2010, 7.74 percent of children aged 10 to 15 worked, working for an average of 6.75 hours per day and spending 6.42 hours less per day on study than other children. Around 90% of child workers were still in school and were combining work and education. Our findings indicate that child work involvement is linked to a higher incidence of school dropout. A kid that grows up in a rural setting is more likely to work. The gender of a kid is less significant than the location of residency. The household head's educational degree and how it interacts with his or her gender seem to be unimportant. However, the prevalence of child labor is inversely linked to family assets per capita and domestic participation in non-agricultural activities. A kid who grows up in a home with more adults has a lower likelihood of working. In China, there are substantial geographical differences in the incidence of child labor. The prevalence of child labor is linked to each area's degree of development: the Western region has the greatest proportion of children working, followed by the Eastern and Central regions.
