Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although lower than other developing countries at a similar stage of development, the problem of child labour in Indonesia is significant. Child labour perpetuates poverty. The link between current child labour and future poverty appears to be a lack of adequate and appropriate education. Children who spend a significant amount of their time working have less opportunity to obtain a proper education. This reduces their ability to get a good job as an adult and climb out of poverty. Furthermore, it is likely that their children will also have to work because of poverty. This study aims to assess the link between poverty, school, and work for children in Indonesia.
