The study aims to investigate the effect of farm land on child labor along with consumption
expenditure. The paper uses data in rural areas and for children from 10 to 14 years old of the
Vietnam household living standard survey in 2008. The specifications are constructed in the
three comparable models: Tobit, Heckman, and double-hurdle to identify the better econometric
approach. The results support the hypothesis that child labor increases in land-rich but among
poor income households, then decreases among non-poor income households. The findings add
another factor to challenge the presumption that child labor appears in poorest households.
