abstract = {Child labour has always been one of the core concerns of the
International Labour Organisation (ILO). In this paper, we investigate
whether ILO conventions have contributed to reducing the scale of the
problem. We use two approaches to answering the question. Evidence based
on country-level data shows that, by 1990, countries having ratified ILO
conventions were in no different position concerning child labour than nonratifying
states. Using individual-level data on school attendance from the
1990s, there is little evidence for an increase in school attendance for children
protected by ILO convention No. 138 as compared to unprotected children.},
