:check: According to authors Eric Edmonds and Nina Pavcnik, globalization has reduced child labor in Vietnam. The increase in price of rice is directly linked to a decrease in child labor. Many Vietnamese households are involved in rice production, and rather than inducing more parents to put their children to work the increase in income have taken them off the job. It has also been discovered that a 30% increase in price of rice equals to a 9% drop in child labor, and that between 1993 and 1998, 2.2 million children have stopped working in Vietnam.The two authors have said that using trade sanctions to combat child labor in developing countries could be counter-productive, and “Greater integration into international markets, at least in this case, is associated with less child labor.” (Davis 1)
