SOCIO–CULTURAL FACTORS IN THE PREVALENCE OF CHILD LABOUR IN MABERA AREA OF SOKOTO SOUTH LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA OF SOKOTO STATE
Abstract
For many years, child labour has been one of the biggest obstacles to social development (National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) (2019). It is a challenge and long-term goal in many countries to abolish all forms of child labour. Especially in developing countries, it is considered as a serious issue. These days child labour refers to children who miss their childhood and are not able to have the basic amenities which children should have. Recently the International Labour Organization estimated that there are around 2.5 million children between age of five to fourteen who work word wide (ILO, 2019) children are often mistreated and work for prolonged hours, in very bad condition. This can affect children health physically, mentally and emotionally. These children do not have basic right like access to school or health care.
