This study was intended to investigate the nature of child labour, continued causes
and effects of child labour on development initiatives, establishing the magnitude
of the problem and make recommendations for intervention. It was generally
established that child labour is a hindrance to developmental programmes by
negatively affecting the targeted next generations.
The high rate of child labour was mainly attributed to poverty, HIV/AIDS, low
incomes, culture, weak laws, invisible phenomenon, population growth, armed
conflict, limited access to education opportunities, employment, gender, social
attitudes and ignorance, irresponsible parenthood, agriculture and orphan hood.
Solutions suggested to child labour included; stronger government intervention,
training and awareness raising, further research and adopting a zero-tolerance for
child labour. Facilitation of the Universal Primary Education Programme to be
improved and stronger bye-laws should to be adopted. / Development Studies / M. A. (Development Studies)
