Özet

Bu çalışma Türkiye'de çocuk işgücünü belirleyen faktörleri saptamak amacıyla yapılmıştır. Özellikle, çocuk işgücü ile ebeveynlerin eğitim düzeyi, geliri ve diğer hanehalkı özellikleri arasındaki ilişkiler incelenmiştir. Ampirik analiz, Devlet İstatistik Enstitüsü (DİE) tarafından 1999 yılında yapılan çocuk işgücü anketiyle elde edilen veriler esas alınarak yapılmıştır. Yapılan analizler sonucunda, çocuğun yaşı, ebeveynlerin eğitim düzeyi, ailedeki çocuk sayısı, annenin istihdamı ve yerleşim yerinin (kır veya kent olması) çocuk işgücünü belirleyen önemli faktörler olduğu saptanmıştır.
