Resumen
Descripción
The authors use the collective model of
the household and show, theoretically, that as the
woman's power rises, child labor will initially fall,
but beyond a point it will tend to rise again. A household
with a balanced power structure between the husband and the
wife is least likely to send its children to work. An
empirical test of this relationship using data from Nepal
strongly corroborates the theoretical hypothesis.
