Child labor remains a concern in many parts of the developing world. The latest estimates of the ILO suggest that there are 168 million child laborers worldwide, making up 11 percent of the child population (ILO, 2013). There is an extensive literature on child labor that assesses its magnitude, correlates and the impact of various interventions in tackling it (for a review see, Edmonds (2008)). We contribute to this literature by studying how the extensions of compulsory schooling in Turkey in 1997 from 5 to 8 years have impacted on child labor. Despite the rather rich child labor literature, the effect of compulsory schooling laws on child labor outcomes remain less well studied due to the rather infrequent nature of such policy changes, the failure on the part of the relevant authorities in enforcing the instituted changes and lack of nationally representative micro-data.

The Making of a Lost Generation: Child Labor among Syrian Refugees in Turkey
Dayıoğlu Tayfur, Meltem; Koç, İsmet (2021-06-01)
Millions of children are forcibly displaced around the world, making child labor a serious risk. However, little is known about this topic due to the difficulty of finding representative datasets for this population and information on child labor. In this study, we use a representative dataset on Syrian refugees in Turkey, the largest refugee group in any single country, to examine the incidence of child labor and its determinants. The incidence of paid work is remarkably high among boys. While 17.4% of 12-...
Child protection and welfare: cultures, policies, and practices
Welbourne, Penelope; Dixon, John (2016-11-01)
Child protection and welfare have become international issues in a globalized world. Ideas about childhood and the upbringing of children vary widely, depending upon the prevailing economic, socio-cultural, religious, and political contexts. These have had dramatic effects on the way societies value children, and the role acquired by the state in their protection and advancing their well-being. Children, however, remain at risk. They are placed at risk by the breakdown of extended family systems as a result...
How do care types and individual differences contribute to emotion understanding skills of children under the care of social services?
Taşfiliz, Duygu; Kazak Berument, Sibel; Department of Psychology (2014)
Early caregiving environment has a great influence on young children’s socio-emotional development. It has been found that young children who have been raised in institutional settings are at risk for deficits in their emotion understanding skills. Research findings also suggested that harmful effects of early care environment would continue into foster care or adoption (Pears & Fisher, 2005; Luke & Banerjee, 2012). Indeed, researchers have investigated developmental differences in individuals’ ability to u...
