A Macro Economic Analysis of Child Labour in Sub-Saharan Countries

Abstract

The aims of the research are to assess child labor at the macro level-focusing on education- and to formulize national policies to address this problem in sub-Saharan Africa. We will investigate if some policies such as compulsory education, export banned, credit market, reduction of poverty and increase welfare programs, mechanization of land, population growth and foreign aid are effective to reduce child labor.
