Bahasa Abstract

Kajian ini menganalisis faktor-faktor penentu bekerja di kalangan anak-anak yang berusia 10-17 tahun dan untuk menyelidiki keberadaan Luxury Axiom. Anak-anak cenderung untuk bekerja seiring dengan bertambahnya usia mereka, adanya hubungan biologis dengan kepala rumah tangga, dan tempat tinggal mereka di pedesaan. Selain itu, semakin tingginya tingkat pendidikan kepala rumah tangga mendorong ke arah pengurangan kecenderungan anak-anak untuk bekerja. Terkait dengan Luxury Axiom, pendapatan rumah tangga memiliki dampak negatif terhadap keputusan untuk bekerja dan kemungkinan untuk bekerja menurun seiring dengan adanya orang dewasa yang bekerja. Terakhir, besarnya dampak aktivitas anak bervariasi adalah berdasarkan daerah.
