Remittances are one of the critical sources of income for lots of Nigerian families. The following paper studies the influence of migration and remittances on child labor. The research attempts to identify whether receiving remittances from migrated household members reduces the likelihood of a child engaged in domestic and non-household economic activities. To examine it, the study will apply binomial logistic regression, probabilistic regression, and instrumental variable techniques. The data for this econometric analysis comes from the Nigerian General Household Survey 2018-2019, Panel 4, conducted by the World Bank and the National Bureau of Statistics. The sample extracted from the abovementioned dataset comprises households with children 5-18 years old. Mainly, children start working when there is no income-generating parent or when their parents' money is insufficient to maintain necessities. The results from econometric estimations prove that migrant remittances have a negative effect on child labor participation. The findings explain that children from remittance-receiving households are less prone to start working than children from non-receiving families. Migrant remittances also loosen the gap in employment risks between urban and rural children. Rural household recipients have more opportunities to enroll their children in school since, with remittances, families have enough funds for living necessities and can afford their children's education. With this, regional child labor disparity also decreases. Overall, children have less chance to enter the labor market than their peers from non-recipient households.
