Abstract

This article presents the basic characteristics of precocious labor in Brazil in the nineties. Since the age the individual started to work do not seem to be an important determinant of future income, we examined the aspects related to it, such as school attendance and the incidence of hard labor. As precocious labor still involves large contingents of children in Brazil, under quite different working conditions, it is essential to distinguish the most critical situations in order to subsidize social policy design targeted at specific clienteles.
