Zusammenfassung:This paper studies the effects of household income on labor participation and school enrollment of children aged 10 to 14 in Brazil using a social security reform as a source of exogenous variation in household income.

Effects on boys'' enrollment rates and labor participation were in general smaller and statistically insignificant
