Abstract

The objective of this article is to explore the relationship between sociodemographic and labor variables of child workers in Mexico, in 2019. Multiple correspondence analysis is used, which is a statistical technique, methodology that exposes the association between sex, age groups, type of work, occupational position, among others. From one of the results it is inferred that child workers in Mexico correspond to a heterogeneous population and their eradication is a complex challenge that requires a comprehensive approach. Performing this analysis within the framework of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), it is deduced that this approach cannot be unique, as it is limited and other key factors are required to achieve a significant and sustainable impact in the eradication of child labor.
