Abstract
This paper looks at the role that parent occupations play in determining schooling and labor outcomes for children in Timor-Leste. It uses a multinomial logit model to analyze the probabilities associated with a child attending school only; attending school while working; working only; and neither working nor attending school, but remaining idle. It distinguishes parent occupations between wage work, nonwage work in nonfarm enterprises in the home, and work in agriculture. It finds no convincing evidence of a relationship between either the mother’s type of occupation or the father’s type of occupation and the activities a child partakes in.
