| dc.description.abstract | Child labor in the West Bank is frequently described by economists as being driven by poverty, culture, or family choice. However, this study approaches child labor as a household coping strategy in response to income shocks resulting from occupational instability. Children’s time can serve as an adaptive margin for short-term stabilization of household consumption when there is limited insurance against unemployment, restricted access to borrowing, and high uncertainty regarding adult employment. | |
