Abstract

The main objective of this paper is to delve into the impact of child labor, on the education and health of children in developing nations. To achieve this a comprehensive review was conducted, utilizing articles reports from organizations like the International Labour Organization (ILO) well as data from national surveys and databases. The findings demonstrate that child labor has effects on both education and health. Working children face challenges such as access to resources, irregular attendance and early dropout rates ((ILO, 2018). Moreover, they are, at a risk of experiencing injuries, respiratory problems, malnutrition, and mental health issues. To address this pressing issue effectively a multifaceted approach is recommended which involves strengthening child protection policies and legislation promoting quality education and healthcare accessibility as providing support to families and communities (Duflo, 2023). The study also emphasizes the significance of raising awareness and implementing programs that challenge social norms contributing to child labor. By adopting an approach, we can eradicate the exploitation of children. Guarantee that they have the chance to flourish and progress in an environment that is secure and conducive to their wellbeing.
