DESCRIPTION:Global food systems generate substantial social externalities 
 that are rarely reflected in market prices. Among these\, child labor repr
 esents a particularly severe yet often hidden cost in smallholder-based ag
 ricultural value chains. \nUsing primary household- and child-level survey
  data from coffee-producing communities in five regions in Uganda\, this s
 tudy examines the prevalence\, drivers\, and educational implications of c
 hild labor in coffee production. Results show that 13.9% of children are e
 ngaged in child labor with boys being significantly more engaged than girl
 s. \nTurning to coffee-specific activities\, 42% of children participated 
 in at least one coffee-related task during the last two agricultural seaso
 ns\, with slightly higher participation among boys than girls. Regression 
 results show that child labor is strongly associated with children’s age
 \, school attendance status\, the relation to the household head\, and the
  educational attainment of the household head.
