Abstract

We estimate the long-term impact of child poverty on adult labour market outcomes in Indonesia, a middle-income country. Our instrumental variable estimation shows that a child who lived in a poor family when aged between eight and 17 years old suffers from an 87% earnings penalty as adults relative to a child who did not grow up in a poor family. The direct effect remains large after we account for a large set of mediators. Depending on the set of mediators that we use, we estimate an earnings penalty of between 85% and 90%. Similarly, we do not find any evidence that receiving various government transfer programs mediates the effect of growing up poor on earnings as adults.

成长贫困对劳动力市场结果的影响：来自印度尼西亚的证据

我们估计了儿童贫困对中等收入国家印度尼西亚成人劳动力市场结果的长期影响。我们的工具变量估计表明，一个8到17岁之间生活在贫困家庭的孩子，成年后的收入要比一个不是在贫困家庭长大的孩子少87%。在我们考虑了大量的中介因素后，直接影响仍然很大。根据我们使用的中介，我们估计收入损失在85%到90%之间。同样，我们也没有发现任何证据表明，接受各种政府转移支付计划可以调节成长过程中贫困对成年后收入的影响。
