Time allocation of children and adolescents is widely discussed in international academic literature, especially time allocation in work activities. This specific work intends to contribute in the debate about factors historically associated with children and adolescents work in Brazil, bringing arguments linked to different analytical perspectives household economics, life course theory and economic sociology by testing a series of derivate hypothesis. Empirically, the data used were the PNAD Pesquisa Nacional por Amostragem Domiciliar the brazilian annual national household survey, conducted by IBGE Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística available between 1988-2005, selecting the children aged 10-15 years. With a series of descriptive statistics, we explored the extensive dataset with a closer look to differences and similarities between the four possible time-allocation categories just work, school and work, just school, and neither one of the two and with a multinomial logit regression modeling proposal we tried to measure the level of association of children and adolescents to time-allocation categories according to specific variables assumed as proxy for testing the intended hypothesis. The main results shows ascendant concentration - at the end of the period, an almost exclusive one - of individuals that worked at this age group in the category school and work; high association of childrens time allocation in work activities and a family history of early work; the crescent association between occupied mothers and fathers especially the mother and work activities; the great difference in the dynamics of historically associated factors to time allocation in the conjugation of school and work and just in work activities. This work registers a social phenomenon that had clearly and profoundly changed, in terms of associated factors, over the analyzed period; besides, shows how diverse are the scenario of associated factors to children and adolescents allocation of time in work activities in Brazil
