“…This is in accordance with Brazilian national data on 5-to-13-year-old persons since the rate of school enrolment did not differ between working children (95.5%) and nonworking children (95.3%) [ 17 ]. However, different findings were obtained by a birth cohort study from south Brazil that evaluated 4452 children at age 11 years and noted that child paid work was associated with grade retention among boys but not among girls [ 26 ]. In addition, due to the reduced number of 5-to-13-year-old persons exposed to lifetime paid work in the current study sample, it was not possible to investigate the effect of the number of hours worked per week and the duration of work in consecutive months on schooling or mental health.…”

Objective. To verify if emotional/behavioral problems are associated with lifetime paid work in poor urban children, when taking into account other potential correlates. Methods. Cross-sectional study focused on 9-to-13-year-old children (n = 212). In a probabilistic sample of clusters of eligible households (women 15–49 years and son/daughter <18 years), one mother-child pair was randomly selected per household (n = 813; response rate = 82.4%). CBCL/6-18 identified child emotional/behavioral problems. Potential correlates include child gender and age, socioeconomic status/SES, maternal education, parental working status, and family social isolation, among others. Multivariate analysis examined the relationship between emotional/behavioral problems and lifetime paid work in the presence of significant correlates. Findings. All work activities were non-harmful (e.g., selling fruits, helping parents at their small business, and baby sitting). Children with lower SES and socially isolated were more involved in paid work than less disadvantaged peers. Children ever exposed to paid work were four times more likely to present anxiety/depression symptoms at a clinical level compared to non-exposed children. Multivariate modeling identified three independent correlates: child pure internalizing problems, social isolation, and low SES. Conclusion. There is an association between lifetime exposure to exclusively non-harmful paid work activities and pure internalizing problems even when considering SES variability and family social isolation.

“…Analisando dados do suplemento da PNAD/2006, Carvalho 28 identificou que a frequência escolar de pessoas de 5 a 17 anos ocupadas era inferior à registrada para a população na mesma faixa etária em áreas urbanas e rurais, além de maior atraso escolar. Estudo incluindo adolescentes encontrou associação entre trabalho infantil e repetição de, pelo menos, uma série escolar 29 .…”

“…In a broader context, life conditions such as socioeconomic, housing, sanitation facilities, health and nutrition represent possible school performance determinants for children and adolescents [ 1 ]. More specifically, the lack of communication between adolescents and parents, alcohol and illegal drugs use in addition to problems regarding the adolescent’s mental health are described in the literature as harmful factors regarding school performance [ 9 , 10 ]. Therefore, unfavourable family and socioenvironmental conditions would result in lower learning ability and higher probability of successive failure along the students’ lives, leading to school dropout and underemployment, making social inequalities broader [ 1 ].…”

Association between leisure-time activities and school failure in adolescents: The 1993 Birth Cohort

et al. 2018

AimTo evaluate the relationship between leisure-time activities at 11 years old and the incidence of school failures from 11 to 15 years in adolescents.MethodsThe sample comprised 4,090 adolescents from the 1993 Pelotas Birth Cohort, Brazil. The outcome was measured as the number of school failures from 11 to 15 years, based on reported information from cohort participants and their parents. The exposures were collected at 11 years old, as follows: reading; meeting friends; talking to parents; and dating.ResultsIn the group from 11 to 15 years old, 53.3% failed at school at least once. Meeting friends 4–7 times/week (RR = 1.15) and dating 1–3 times/week (RR = 1.22) were associated with high risk for school failure. Reading showed an inverse relationship with school failures (1–3 times/week RR = 0.83; 4–7 times/week RR = 0.71). Reading at least once a week could prevent around 16% of school failures.ConclusionThe context in which adolescents are inserted plays a relevant role in school performance. Understanding these factors may help to propose actions to reduce school failure rates even further.

Prevalência de retenção escolar e fatores associados em adolescentes da coorte de nascimentos de 1993 em Pelotas, Brasil

Abstract: Low socioeconomic and low maternal schooling levels were the factors most strongly associated with grade retention. Strategies to reduce this situation must take into account demographic and socioeconomic characteristics.
