Abstract: This work analyzes the impact of parental migration condition on the work/school probability of children among 10 and 14 years in the State of São Paulo. On the basis of a familial category established in accordance with the combinations of mothers’ and fathers’ migration condition, we estimate a bivariate probit for boys and girls. The differences of joined and decomposed probabilities through Oaxaca method show that the children of recent migrant couples feature higher probability to work, thanks to their parents’ disadvantage in the labor market. In the case of children from monoparental families, migrant mothers’ children have greater possibilities to work than those of non-migrant mothers.
