Résumé en anglais

Debt bondage is a violation of human rights. Landless households take advances to survive in their village. Child labour is used to increase household productivity. We use data from a survey conducted in Tamil Nadu, India, to test the relationship between child labour their specialization in the brick kiln industry and debt bondage.
