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.
