Abstract
Child work (early work before 18) is one of the main obstacles towards achieving a social development in any country. Recent concern about child work has resulted in a number of national and international policies. This study has a main interest in studying child work in Egypt and its impact on wage when being an adult. Also, the determinants of being a working child are investigated using the logistic regression model. The Egyptian Labor Market Panel Surveys (ELMPS 2012) is used. The results show that starting first work before 18 negatively affects the working conditions when being an adult compared to the individual who started his/her first work after 18. Heckman selection Model and Propensity Score Matching are applied to measure the effect of child work (starting first work before 18) on wage when being an adult. The result of Heckman selection Model shows no clue of selection bias while modelling the hourly wage. Both Heckman selection Model and Propensity Score Matching reveal that starting first work before 18 have a negative significant effect on the hourly wage in the current job when being an adult
