Abstract

Education is essential for every human being, but there are several reasons why working children cannot attend school or even obtain a primary education. These reasons are to blame because working children cannot enroll in school. The issue of child labor affects the entire world and is included in the goals for sustainable development. The research aims to investigate the many social and economic factors that contribute to the prevalence of child work among primary school pupils. A survey was utilized as the methodology to carry out the study and achieve the study's goals. A total of two hundred and fifty primary school pupils participated in the survey. SPSS was used to perform an analysis of the raw data, and the statistical methods of frequency and percentage were employed to investigate the study's findings. According to the study results, one of the primary reasons children are forced to work is because they are required to do so for their families to survive in this day and age when advanced technology and modern living standards are the norms. The study's findings indicate that certain socio-economic conditions are to blame for the detrimental effects on children's social and mental development experienced during their elementary school years. The research would suggest that stakeholders make an effort to guarantee 100 percent enrollment and attendance at schools ranging from elementary to secondary levels, all the way up to high schools, to eradicate child labor.
