This paper examines the reasons for the global variations in child soldier recruitment rates and standards of welfare. The author analyzes why some children voluntarily join military organizations, while others are forced to join in situations of conflict. The paper attempts to answer various open questions by drawing on the results and ideas from independent lines of research, such as child labor, conflict structure and child psychology.
