Education quality and child labour: evidence from cocoa-growing communities in Côte d'Ivoire and Ghana

While in theory a causal link between quality of education and the prevalence of child labour seems evident, empirical evidence to substantiate this link is very scant to date. To address the gap, this study explores the link between a set of indicators of educational quality, and local child labour prevalence rates, in a sample of 258 cocoa-growing communities in Côte d’Ivoire and Ghana.
