Abstract

One of the fundamental global problems facing developing countries today is the fact that the incidences of children who work outside the family to earn a living or to support their families are increasing. In Nigeria, most especially in the urban areas, children between the age of eight years and fifteen are seen working. The situation of most Nigerian children remains critical due to the socio-economic, cultural, and educational backgrounds of their parents. Children are compelled by circumstances beyond their control to contribute to family income. In the long run, working children are disadvantaged in several ways because of their involvement in all sorts of hazardous works which affect their health and developmental process. This work critically examined economic and socio-political factors that encourage child exploitation in Nigeria.A comprehensive study of international and domestic legal instruments against child labour was also explored. This paper advocates that the eradication of poverty and the provision of free and compulsory primary and secondary education would contribute to the reduction of child labour in Nigeria and Africa at large.
