Sažetak

This paper takes an initial step in studying the determinants of child
domestic labour and its relationship with mothers’ employment in
Turkey. We focus on children that are responsible for performing the
domestic chores in their households. Using household level data from
Demographic and Health Survey (2003), we find that the probability
of child domestic labour is greater if the oldest child in the household
is female; and this is stronger in rural areas. We also find that the
likelihood of child domestic labour decreases with parental education.
Our findings also suggest that the unobservable factors that increase
the probability that a mother works increases the probability of child
domestic labour in urban areas, but the opposite is true for rural areas.
