Bahasa Abstract

Studi ini bertujuan menganalisis tingkat keparahan eksploitasi terhadap anak yang bekerja dan faktor- faktor yang memengaruhi terjadinya eksploitasi. Data Sakernas 2011 dan regresi logistik digunakan sebagai alat analisis. Berdasarkan tingkat keparahan eksploitasi, terdapat tiga provinsi yang selalu tinggi nilai keparahan eksploitasinya, yaitu DKI Jakarta, Banten, dan Jawa Barat. Pendidikan kepala rumah tangga (KRT) merupakan salah satu faktor yang berpengaruh terhadap eksploitasi dari segi jam kerja dan akses pendidikan. Semakin rendah pendidikan KRT, semakin besar peluang anak untuk tereksploitasi. Sedangkan untuk eksploitasi dari segi upah, anak perempuan memiliki peluang 2,357 kali untuk tereksploitasi dari segi upah dibandingkan anak laki-laki.
