Intra-industry trade and the demand for child labor
Kristian Estevez∗ and Ting Levy†
This paper examines the role of firm heterogeneity in the demand for child labor in an intra-
industry trade setting. Firms differ in their productivity levels and can employ children in
producing a heterogeneous good. The effect of trade liberalization will depend on how changes
in a firm’s productivity parameter affects the relative productivity between adults and children.
When the productivity elasticity of children is higher (lower) than that of adults, trade liberal-
ization will result in an increase (decrease) in the demand for child labor. Increasing the risk of
using child labor will decrease its demand in most scenarios.
Key words child labor, firm heterogeneity, intra-industry trade

1 Introduction
The phenomenon of child labor is a stubborn problem that continues to plague the least developed
countries and contributes to the perpetual cycle of poverty from which many have been unable to
exit. Although the incidence of child labor has been in decline over the past few decades, it remains
persistent in the poorest nations. Worldwide approximately 14 percent of children between ages 5
and 14 are economically active, but the percentage of child laborers in Asia is 17 percent, and in sub-
Saharan Africa 25 percent, according to the International Labour Organization (ILO 2006). Research
on the causes of child labor has grown over the last 15 years, albeit principally rooted in one side of
the story, namely the decisions of households that determine the supply of child labor.1
