Another study on child labor. This one is by Karen Kramer who is at Harvard. It has a nice table on how much children work in different types of societies, so foragers, foragers/agriculturalists, agriculturalists, pastoralists. http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~bioanth/kramer_pdf/EvolutionaryAnthropology2005.pdf if you want to read further on child labor. A lot of Karen's work has been with a Mayan group in the Yucatan. A list of some of her publications with pdfs, others touch on what children add to the family pot, if you will, is here: http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~bioanth/kramer_pubs.html.
