Using a cross-sectional study with data from the Colombian Demographic and Health Survey 2010, a working child was defined as a child who worked during the week prior to the survey in an activity other than household chores. Through descriptive statistics, bivariate analysis, and multivariate regressions, it was found that child labor was associated with gender (boys were more likely to work), older age, ethnicity (children from indigenous communities were more likely to be workers), school dropout, disability (children with disabilities were less likely to be working), subsidized health social security system membership, and lower number of years of mother’s schooling. Furthermore, the results of this study suggest that children beneficiaries of the subsidy Familias en Acción were less likely to be working and that social protection programs were more effective to reduce child labor when targeting the lowest wealth quintiles of the Colombian population. © The Author(s) 2018.application/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.1177/0020731417747421207314https://repository.urosario.edu.co/handle/10336/24360engSAGE Publications Inc.548No. 3535International Journal of Health ServicesVol. 48International Journal of Health Services, ISSN:207314, Vol.48, No.3 (2018); pp. 535-548https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85050012890&doi=10.1177%2f0020731417747421&partnerID=40&md5=31e94b15d9920e5188b230157ada0c0dAbierto (Texto Completo)http://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2instname:Universidad del Rosarioreponame:Repositorio Institucional EdocURAdolescenceChild healthChild laborDemographic surveyDisease prevalenceEmploymentGovernmentHealth surveySocial securitySocioeconomic conditionsWelfare reformColombiaAdolescentAgeChildColombiaCross-sectional studyFemaleHumanMalePrevalencePublic policySex factorSocioeconomicsStatistics and numerical dataAdolescentAge factorsChildChild laborColombiaCross-sectional studiesFemaleHumansMalePrevalencePublic policySex factorsSocioeconomic factorsAdolescentChildChild laborColombiaEmploymentGovernmentSocial protectionWealth, Social Protection Programs, and Child Labor in Colombia: A Cross-sectional StudyarticleArtículohttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501Pinzón Rondón, Ángela MaríaCifuentes L.B.Zuluaga C.Botero J.C.Pinzon-Caicedo M.10336/24360oai:repository.urosario.edu.co:10336/243602022-05-02 07:37:16.041625https://repository.urosario.edu.coRepositorio institucional EdocURedocur@urosario.edu.co
