ABSTRACT This study provides a better understanding of children’s engagement in economic work and housework by examining its relationship with parents’ labour force participation. It also explores how parents’ employment type is associated with children’s involvement in work activities. Using Thailand’s Labour Force and Time Use Surveys, our multivariate probit regression results show that girls actively participate in economic activities when their mothers are employed, while boys’ involvement in such work is positively correlated to both parents’ employment. Girls’ housework participation is also positively associated with parents’ employment, suggesting that their assistance in household chores enable their parents to stay in the labour market. These positive relationships are prevalent particularly among children with either mothers or fathers working informally. Hence, the findings suggest that anti-poverty or expansionary policies aimed at increasing labour force participation without attention to job quality, social protection and care needs can adversely affect children by increasing their need to work.

父母参与劳动力和儿童参与工作活动:来自泰国的证据

摘要本研究通过检查儿童与父母的劳动力参与的关系,可以更好地了解儿童参与经济工作和家务劳动的情况。它还探讨了父母的就业类型与孩子参与工作活动的关系。通过泰国的劳动力和时间使用调查,我们的多元概率回归结果表明,女孩在母亲受雇时会积极参与经济活动,而男孩参与此类工作与父母双方的就业都呈正相关。女童的家务劳动也与父母的就业有正相关,这表明她们在做家务方面的帮助使她们的父母得以留在劳动力市场。这些积极的关系在父母或父亲从事非正式工作的孩子中尤为普遍。因此,调查结果表明,旨在增加劳动力参与而不关注工作质量,社会保护和照料需求的反贫困或扩张性政策可能通过增加儿童的工作需求而对其产生不利影响。
