“…Keberadaan pekerja anak akan menimbulkan hambatan dalam pembangunan sumber daya manusia [13]. Anak yang bekerja akan kehilangan haknya dalam mendapatkan pendidikan optimal yang dapat merugikan masa depannya dan berpotensi mengalami gangguan kesehatan di masa yang akan datang, serta rentan mengalami masalah psikologi dan sosial [14], [15], [16].

Peningkatan aktivitas globalisasi industri merupakan dua mata pisau dalam perkembangan pekerja anak di dunia Seiring dengan perkembangan era globalisasi industri, permintaan yang tinggi akan tenaga kerja menyebabkan perluasan kesempatan terhadap anak untuk mendapatkan pendapatan yang pada akhirnya akan meningkatkan jumlah pekerja anak. Peningkatan ini disebebkan oleh faktor penarik (rasionalitas / pemberi kerja) dan faktor pendorong paling kuat pendapatan rumah tangga atau kemiskinan. Dalam penelitian ini menggunakan metode observasi penyebaran kuesioner kepada 100 anak yang berusia 10-19 tahun dan teknik analisis menggunakan regresi logistik. Dari hasil regresi logsiti didapat bahwa pendapatan pekerja anak, jumlah tanggungan, pendidikan orang tua memiliki hubungan signifikan terhdap keputusan anak dalam bekerja dengan nilai koefisien negatif sedangkan untuk variabel sifat pekerjaan, status pekerjaan dan jenis pekerjaan yang dimiliki orang tua memilikim pengaruh signifikan terhadp keputusan bekerja anak dengan nilai koefisien positif, artinya variabel tersebut dapat meningkatkan jumlah pekerja anak dalam waktu cepat dengan alasan membentu perekonomian keluarga sebagai faktor penting dan utama. Variabel umur tidak memiliki hubungan signifikan terhadap keputusan anak bekerja. Pada nilai R Square Nagelkerker didapat sebesar 0.706 atau 70,6% sisanya 29,4%.

Background: Child labor is considered one of the main social problems that affect the community and has a physical and psychosocial impact on a child’s health, growth, and development. The study aimed to describe the sociocultural discourses of children involved in child labor. A macroethnographic approach was used to collect the data from the selected community areas of Punjab, India. Materials and Methods: A community-based qualitative study using purposive sampling was carried out among children engaged in child labor (n = 8). The data were gathered through in-depth or semi-structured interviews and non-participant observation under four phases: community context assessment, egocentric network analysis, validation, and dissemination of study findings. The guide for consolidated criteria for reporting qualitative research (COREQ) was followed. Ongoing analysis was conducted using Spradley’s analysis approach to identify the themes. Results: Thematic analysis resulted in the emergence of various themes related to child labor, namely, adaptability, money-centric attitude, sense of being underserved, social deprivation, work burden, reduced emotional expression, workaholism, abuse, family shoulder, family cohesion, and sense of industry. Apart from that, inhuman living and working conditions, as well as school deprivation among study subjects, were observed. Poverty emerged as the single most compelling factor for child labor in India. Conclusion: The study concluded that child labor had a negative impact on children’s overall development. An effective intervention to stop child labor is if vulnerable children are identified through primary healthcare, and a relationship of trust is built that allows for the provision of health care, education, support, and referral to additional services outside the health sector.

“…Considering this framework and the evidence that younger individuals are more prone to have great health risk (Bharti and Agarwal, 2013), the labour performed by children may increase health stock depreciation, leading to long-, medium-and short-term consequences for the individuals and the nation (Forastieri, 1997;Fassa et al, 2000;Dorman, 2008). Consequently, child labour can reduce health capital, resulting in a greater degree of absenteeism and lower productivity, which will lead to lower wages (Grossman, 1972;Muurinen, 1982).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine if child labour can have long-term consequences on children’s health status. Design/methodology/approach To capture this relationship, this paper uses the Brazilian National Household Survey (PNAD) conducted in 1998, 2003 and 2008, structured as a pseudo panel and estimated using a fractional response model. Findings The results show that child labour is negatively associated with child’s health status, and the longer the hours worked, the worse is the child’s health status. The authors also observe that hazardous labour had a three times higher negative effect on the child’s health and those who worked in service sectors are more prone to having a worse health status. Originality/value The study shows that different children’s occupations may have very different impacts on children’s health and indicates that despite the fact that Brazil has a strict law prohibiting child labour, the share of children working is still high and this work has a negative impact on child’s health.
