People around the world prefer that children not participate in the workforce. However, regulation of child labor remains largely ineffective because it does not address the root causes of the issue. This paper examines the economic origins of child labor, reveals the benefits of reduced child labor, and explores the efficacy of specific types of regulation. The paper ultimately proposes that effective child labor policy must address the economic roots of child labor by developing credit access, financial markets, and general economic growth.
