Abstract
Educational, economic, and labor-related causes of child labor are analyzed. A hierarchical segmentation analysis with a sample of 3259 families enrolled in an educational prevention program about child labor in the Colombian Caribbean Coast was conducted. The resulting model identified two child labor profiles. In families settled in a rural or suburban context, child labor is related to forced displacement in the last 5 years. In families living in the urban center, child labor is mainly associated to family income and maternal variables such as current employment status and educational level, and labor during her childhood.
