“…The findings reveal that the street children are obligated to contribute to the family by providing income to them and the children had to be independent and earn for themselves to survive. These findings reveal that the street children are exposed to work at an early age to fend for themselves and their family (Nelson & Quiton, 2018). Sometimes a child would experience physical, verbal and emotional abuse from parents when he/she returned home without income.…”

Children living on the streets are a common sight in Khartoum, the capital city of Sudan, and other parts of the country. These children have been exposed to many types of pressure which influence behavior outcomes. This study aims to investigate the street children’s socioeconomic profiles and examine the social-psychological influence of parents, peers and the public on the children’s behavior. A systematic sampling technique was used to select 12 markets in Khartoum state. 350 street children from the 12 markets volunteered for the face-to-face interview administered questionnaire. The study found that parents stressors and peers stressors significantly influence the children to perform maladaptive behavior. However, the public did not have any significant effect on children’s maladaptive behavior. The study suggests intervention programs should be applied to stop children from ending up on the streets by providing families with a basic income to guarantee children's welfare, security and sense of family life. To stop children from going back to the streets, a free education policy, fee waivers and free meals for poor children are recommended.

“…A child 8 in poverty could contribute to the improvement of the her or his own conditions as well as her or his parents by working, and working could be beneficial for the child and the society since it would improve individual skills, a sense of responsibility, and even support schooling by providing the financial requirements (Bourdillon, 2017).A flexible and coordinated approach could ensure school attendance and working and improve the child's performance in both spheres (Orkin, 2012). Certain studies suggested that short-term work that would not exceed 2 hours per day did not have a significant negative effect on schooling (Nelson & Quiton, 2018;Omokhodion, et al 2006;Ravallion & Wodon, 2000).…”

“…Especially when social security is not available for parents with inadequate income and several children, they require the income provided by the children to meet their basic needs and livelihood. Previous studies reported that children are employed for economic, social and cultural reasons (Nelson & Quiton, 2018). The inadequate income level of the parents is a significant factor that affects the educational lives of children (Hirsch, 2007;Demie & Lewis, 2011, Cassen & Kingdon, 2007Psacharopoulos, 1997).…”

Purpose:The present study aims to analyze the availability of educational services for working students.The study attempts to determine the impact of educational activities conducted in schools attended by working students on education quality, the problems and expectations of working students based on the views of the stakeholders.Design/Methodology/Approach: The participants include school administrators, teachers and parents of working students in the qualitative study. Conducting the research at the secondary school level is seen as a limitation. The participants of the study consist of secondary school administrators and children who study in these schools. Semi-structured interview forms are employed as the data collection instrument, and the collected data are analyzed with the content analysis method.Findings: The study findings demonstrated that educational activities had certain negative effects such as disinterest in schooling, academic failure, fatigue, absenteeism, and undesired behavior, as well as positive effects such as acquisition of a vocation, maturity, and protection. The stakeholders suggested issues such as negative role models, absenteeism, fatigue, early professional responsibilities, conflict, academic failure, and recommendations such as parent training, financial support, and vocational training. It was determined that these students expected financial support, parent training and planned work schedules.Highlights: It could be suggested that there are various interactive dimensions of the employment of educational activities for working children, and future policies that are specific to the problem and the region could be more effective when compared to the present centralist approaches.

“…Of course, if cash transfer benefits are conditioned on school attendance, even in the absence of empirical evidence, there is less reason to doubt that child labour would be low among beneficiary households. The more time children spend attending school, the less time they spend on work activities (Ravallion and Wodon, ; Beegle et al , ; Nelson and Quiton, ).…”

The Impact of Public Works Programme on Child Labour in Ethiopia

Given the conventional wisdom that poverty and associated income shocks are the fundamental causes of child labour, from a policy perspective, there is a perception that social safety net programmes can play a vital role in reducing child labour. While there is extensive evidence that shows the prevalence of child labour is low among beneficiaries of conditional cash transfer programmes, the impact of workfare programs on child labour has been rarely investigated in the economics literature. This paper addresses the issue by evaluating the impact of the public works component of the Productive Safety Net Programme implemented in Ethiopia in 2005. The programme aims to help poor households to build assets and develop resilience to shocks through employment in public projects. Results from child fixed effects estimations show that children in programme beneficiary households are significantly less likely than their counterparts in non‐beneficiary households to be involved in child labour. The findings suggest that, if well targeted, even safety net programmes that do not primarily target child outcomes can be useful in addressing child labour problems.
