Editing Economy of Peru (section)

====Effect on family economies====
The anti-coca policies imposed in 1995 have had adverse effects on Peruvian's household economies.  Many families dependent on coca farming have been forced to send their children to work as eradication of crops has decreased their household income.<ref name="Dammert" /> In states where coca is grown, [[child labour]] increased by 18% in 1997 and 40% in 2000. Work hours and domestic work increased as well, with girls taking on 28% more domestic work with boys doing 13% more.  Wage work for adults also increased since 1995. As such, it can be inferred that the increase in child labour since eradication policies have come into effect is caused by children filling in for working parents.<ref name="Dammert" /> However, the issue of child labour in cocoa production is still present in Peru as reported in 2013 in the [[U.S. Department of Labor]]'s report ''Findings on the Worst Forms of Child Labor'' and in December 2014, in the [[Bureau of International Labor Affairs]]'s ''[[List of Goods Produced by Child Labor or Forced Labor]]''.<ref>{{Cite web |title=2013 Findings on the Worst Forms of Child Labor - Peru |url=https://www.refworld.org/reference/annualreport/usdol/2014/en/101989 |access-date=2025-02-15 |website=Refworld |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2014-12-01 |title=List of Goods Produced by Child Labor or Forced Labor |url=https://www.dol.gov/sites/dolgov/files/ILAB/reports/TVPRA_Report2014.pdf |access-date=2025-02-15 |website=The Bureau of International Labor Affairs}}</ref>
