CHARACTERISTICS AND DETERMINANTS OF CHILD LABOUR IN CAMEROON

This study aims at understanding the phenomenon of child labour in Cameroon. In particular, we investigate characteristics and determinants of child labour. Using data from the Cameroonian survey on employment and informal sector, we find evidence of a division of child labour within households which is around sex and kinship relations, and which varies according to the type of household. The study also shows that child labour is determined by both the internal and external factors to the household. The time of work of children is a variable of adjustment dictated by the necessity of going beyond the level of subsistence income.
