“…Child labour is currently a recognised problem on a global scale, research is underway to ascertain the underlying causes of this phenomenon (Chauhan & Ain, 2019). It is a problem that affects all nations worldwide (Shahraki et al, 2020). Eryilmaz et al (2020) stated that children who work as child labourers often do not get the education they deserve.…”

Utilising a phenomenological research design employing unstructured in-depth interviews, this study investigated the lived experiences of elementary school students engaged in farm work and the teachers overseeing them, focusing specifically on the impacts of farm work on their schooling. Six teachers and six pupils from grades four to six at a rural elementary school in an agricultural area in the Philippines agreed to participate in the interviews. Digitally recorded interviews were thematically analysed to generate the themes and sub-themes. Unlike the majority of previous studies, this present study included both the perspectives of students and teachers. The study considered the actual experiences of the children and the teachers' conceptualisations of an ideal educational experience for students. The study aimed to fill the gap by forming a synthesis with these two different perspectives. The researchers generated three themes: poor academic performance, mechanisms for reinforcement of learning, and imbalance between school responsibilities and daily lives. The results highlighted that farm work negatively affected the academic lives of elementary school pupils, leading to poor grades and increased absenteeism. Meanwhile, teachers faced challenges in delivering and reinforcing learning materials due to the frequent absenteeism of the students. In conclusion, the demands of farm work hinder pupils' educational progress and their ability to benefit from classroom instruction fully. For future research, it would be helpful to extend the current findings by examining the parents’ perceptions since this study focused only on the experiences of elementary pupils and elementary teachers’ perspectives regarding the effects of farm work on academic life.

Peningkatan aktivitas globalisasi industri merupakan dua mata pisau dalam perkembangan pekerja anak di dunia Seiring dengan perkembangan era globalisasi industri, permintaan yang tinggi akan tenaga kerja menyebabkan perluasan kesempatan terhadap anak untuk mendapatkan pendapatan yang pada akhirnya akan meningkatkan jumlah pekerja anak. Peningkatan ini disebebkan oleh faktor penarik (rasionalitas / pemberi kerja) dan faktor pendorong paling kuat pendapatan rumah tangga atau kemiskinan. Dalam penelitian ini menggunakan metode observasi penyebaran kuesioner kepada 100 anak yang berusia 10-19 tahun dan teknik analisis menggunakan regresi logistik. Dari hasil regresi logsiti didapat bahwa pendapatan pekerja anak, jumlah tanggungan, pendidikan orang tua memiliki hubungan signifikan terhdap keputusan anak dalam bekerja dengan nilai koefisien negatif sedangkan untuk variabel sifat pekerjaan, status pekerjaan dan jenis pekerjaan yang dimiliki orang tua memilikim pengaruh signifikan terhadp keputusan bekerja anak dengan nilai koefisien positif, artinya variabel tersebut dapat meningkatkan jumlah pekerja anak dalam waktu cepat dengan alasan membentu perekonomian keluarga sebagai faktor penting dan utama. Variabel umur tidak memiliki hubungan signifikan terhadap keputusan anak bekerja. Pada nilai R Square Nagelkerker didapat sebesar 0.706 atau 70,6% sisanya 29,4%.

“…In examining the conditions of child labour in Mashhad, Iran, Shahraki et al (2020) gathered data on the family and social conditions of street children. This study is not explicit about the differences between WFCL and other forms, but presumably much of the work described constitutes WFCL, including long hours selling on busy streets.…”

“…Even when these conditions don't result in children running away from home to live on the street, it can lead to children choosing or being forced to work to provide for themselves. Fafchamps and Wahba (2006: 378) Shahraki et al (2020) report that many of their child respondents mentioned methamphetamine and opium use by and with parents. Other literature suggests that drug use is common in physically demanding and socially stigmatised jobs as a coping mechanism (see, for example, Baumann et al 2007;Kakchapati et al 2018); however, it also feeds back into the dynamics of violence and coercion associated with WFCL.…”

Urban Neighbourhood Dynamics and the Worst Forms of Child Labour

While the worst forms of child labour (WFCL) is not only an urban phenomenon, evidence suggests that WFCL emerges in cities in unique ways due to the complex structures and dynamics of urban systems. This report, therefore, develops a conceptual framework for WFCL in cities that integrates key understandings of urban systems and evidence about urban WFCL. This report reviews current literature on the complex systemic nature of cities – drawing on literature on the urban land nexus, urban complexity, informality, and inclusive urbanisation. It also reviews studies of child labour (focusing on the worst forms, where possible) in urban contexts. In this way, the report offers an innovative way of understanding the challenge of WFCL, and outlines the premises of a research agenda for responding to WFCL in cities. These contributions are made with the specific cities and neighbourhoods in mind where the CLARISSA programme is being implemented; however, they should be useful more generally.
