In the project’s second year, I performed the work described below.First, I built an analytical model of a small open economy (developing country) that incorporated both child labor and the fair trade (FT) system, using a previously (during the 1st year) created micro foundation on child labor in developing countries and previously (during the 1st year) documented features of the FT system.Second, in this model, I captured key components of the FT system, and using this setting, I tackled the equilibrium of the model and analyzed how an increase in the FT affects child labor in developing countries.Third, I derived the following results from the above construction. An increase in the FT world price increases the number of households in a developing country that do not force their children to work, however, it may intensify the total working time of children in developing countries. Next, I showed that the FT wage would have the opposite result. In addition, the FT (social) premium may contribute to a decline in children’s total working time.Fourth, I continued a formal analysis of the fair trade mechanisms. This analysis also contributed to the current study. I presented obtained results at conferences.

在该项目的第二年，我进行了如下工作。首先，我建立了一个小型开放经济体（发展中国家）的分析模型，其中包含童工和公平贸易（FT）制度，使用以前（第一年期间）年）创建了关于发展中国家童工的微观基础，并在之前（第一年）记录了 FT 系统的特征。其次，在这个模型中，我捕获了 FT 系统的关键组成部分，并使用这个设置，我解决了均衡问题的模型并分析了 FT 的增加如何影响发展中国家的童工。第三，我从上述构建中得出以下结果：FT 世界价格的增加增加了发展中国家不强迫孩子的家庭数量。然而，这可能会增加发展中国家儿童的总工作时间。接下来，我表明，FT工资会产生相反的结果。此外，FT（社会）溢价可能会导致儿童总工作时间的下降。四、我继续对公平贸易机制的正式分析也有助于我在会议上介绍所获得的结果。
