Add to ORKGAbstract: The paper embeds child labor in a standard general-equilibrium, two-sector (modern and agrarian) model of a small open economy facing perfectly competitive markets, efficiency wages, and free-trade. Trade policies that increase the modern-sector output reduce the incidence of child labor and the dispersion of wages between skilled and unskilled workers. Foreign direct investment in the modern sector reduces the incidence of child labor. Emigration of skilled (unskilled) workers reduces (increases) the incidence of child labor. Child-wage subsidies increase the incidence of child labor; and a ban on child-labor benefits unskilled adult workers but hurts skilled adult workers
