Using the 2013 MTI-ENOE, we set up a bivariate probit model to control two mixed effects, the inverse relation between child labor and education, and the endogeneity in the family migration. Results shows that the probability of child labor of a immigrant child is higher compared to a non migrant child, this probability increases with his age and it is larger for boy relative to girls. In relation to household composition, I found that rates of child labor is higher in household with father absent. In fact, we found that immigrant children are a vulnerable group, even if they seem to have a higher level of education than non-migrant, they work longer hours for a payment Intergenerational transmission of informal employment in Mexico. A limitedchoice or better income prospects? motivates the use of retrospective data 2011 ESRU Survey of Social Mobility in Mexico.
