Description
Rima Habib and co-authors review child labour in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Their 2023 scoping review sifts over 5,000 records down to 45 studies. Child labour harms health and schooling, and the pandemic threatened to undo years of progress against it.
Eight of the studies foresaw growth in child labour, including its worst forms. The drivers cluster around lost income, closed schools, dead parents, and thin social protection. Demand for cheap child work rose in places too. The authors ask for more field research, with care for girls and migrant children. They call for a joint answer across government, business, and aid groups.
