They find that work has a negative and sizable effect on school progress and are able to measure this effect for different groups of children. Their results highlight the relevance of policies aimed at increasing school progress through reductions in child work and the importance of accompanying these policies by efforts to improve the adverse environment that working children face. The authors evaluate the dynamic effects of three policies: compulsory primary schooling, compulsory school entry at age six, and universal access to secondary school. They find that these policies have a sizable effect on school progress and child labor. 2013-06-20T18:18:09Z 2013-06-20T18:18:09Z 2004-06 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2004/06/4813145/dynamics-school-work-rural-bangladesh http://hdl.handle.net/10986/14068 English en_US Policy Research Working Paper;No.3330 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank World Bank, Washington, D.C.
