      abstract = {The study examines effects of some factors on the child  labor force in Turkey such as the level of education of  household heads determining the child labor, the features  of geographical region where the household live and sex of  working children. It is a motivation tool of opting for  this subject in a developing country having a young  population that there are few empirical studies concerning  the fact of child labor. The empirical results obtained  from non-conditional probability and probit analyses show  that the employment rates of boys are higher than that of  girls in both urban and rural regions. The education level  of decision-makers of household in rural areas is lower  than that of in urban regions and accordingly child labor  employment rates in rural regions is higher than the same  rates in urban regions. These facts mean that the lower the  level of education of household heads is, the higher the  child labor becomes. That is, when the education level of  decision-makers decreases in rural areas, the child labor  becomes more common.},
