Mitchell, Daniel J. B.; Clapp, John

Journal of Human Resources, v15 n3 p396-408 Sum 1980

Federal policy toward youth is divided between those encouraging employment and child labor laws which govern employment of those from 14-17. This study deals with quantification of the impacts of child labor laws by using Census data to identify shifting employment toward occupations not covered by these laws. (Author/JOW)
