what is child labour?
Child labour in Africa is the employment of children in a manner that deprives them of their childhood, and is harmful to their physical and mental development. Africa has the world's highest incidence rates of child labour. The problem is severe in sub-saharan Africa where more than 40% of all children aged 5â14 labour for survival, or about 48 million children. Poverty is considered as the primary cause of child labor in Africa.
