JUAREZ, Sarai Miranda. Characterization of Child Labor in Mexican Rural Areas in 2015. Rev.fac.cienc.econ. [online]. 2019, vol.27, n.1, pp.151-168. ISSN 0121-6805.  https://doi.org/10.18359/rfce.3314.

This paper describes child labor in Mexican rural areas in 2015 through the examination of statistical data obtained from the Child Labor Module in the National Occupation and Employment Survey 2015. This paper seeks to determine the type of child or adolescent who is most likely to have been employed in rural areas at the time of the survey. Further, the paper exposes multiple situations within a population group that could hardly become homogenized. For these purposes, the authors developed a statistical model based on binomial logistic regression whose dependent variable is the employed child. In this model, three independent variables were used as axes: the individual environment, the home environment, and the contextual environment.

Palabras clave : child labor; rural areas; binomial logistic regression.
