CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the Study
Children
Child labour is a widespread phenomenon in Nigeria today. This is
especially the case in urban areas. Labour is a form of commerce in
which the seller (merchant) transports goods (goods or goods) from one
place to another in search of potential buyers. Children Child labour
refers to the sale of goods by a person under the age of eighchild
(Child labour). Children Child labourers are school-age children (at
school, street vendors) who, for reasons of school need, associate the
school with economic activities despite its consequences.
The
phenomenon of child street traffic raised concerns among the government,
non-governmental organizations (NGOs), teachers and school
administrators. Studies show that children combine school education and
street vending to contribute to family survival, study materials and the
payment of school fees (Johnson, & Ihesie, 2015). Literature
suggests that parents allow their children to have fun due to the tense
economic situation in Nigeria (Akpan and Oluwabamide, 2010, Shailong,
Onuk and Beshi, 2011, Ayodele and Olubayo-Fatiregun, 2014, Clark and
Yesufu, 2014); Idris, Yahaya, Sambo, Muazu and Isa, 2014). An empirical
study shows a significant correlation between the professional level of
parents and street frenzy in children (Dada, 2013). Given this
situation, it is unlikely that children's street traffic can be stopped
before.
In recent years, the uproar of children in school has been a
broad area of research (Iorvaa, 2007, Ashimolowo, Aromolaran and
Inegbedion, 2010, Faruta and Yambuk, 2013, Bosah, Offem and
Obumneke-Okeke, 2015 and Johnson & Ihesie, 2015) due to concerns
about their academic performance. Academic achievement is a central
aspect of the education system. It is a measure of student progress, the
effectiveness of teachers and the general level of education. This
could be defined as the ability of the students in the school to reach
or exceed the expected grades. In general, it is believed that child
hunts are one of the factors that influence the academic performance of
students at school. Researchers such as Akpan and Oluwabamide (2010);
Ashimolovo et al. (2010); Ubajaka, Duru, Nnebue, Okwaraoha and Ifeadike
(2010), Ekpenyong and Sibiri (2011); and Johnson and Ihesie (2015) are
calling for a law against street vendors in Nigeria. This indicates that
street vendors who do not have children have the opportunity to
concentrate on working at school. Although it is desirable to prevent
activities that interfere with the education of children, this is not
possible if such activities are the means of living if there are no
other alternatives (Omokhodion, Omokhodion & Odusote, 2006, Anumaka,
2010). ,, Insisting on exclusive education for low-income children or
unemployed parents is likely to: hinder enrollment; It leads to dropping
out and dropping out due to school costs and the need for survival. In
view of the above situation, it is better to allow schoolchildren to
carry out income-generating activities during school hours than not to
go to school (Okpukpara, Chine, Uguru & Nnaemeka, 2006). In
addition, there are street vendors in the school who perform better in
academic work. Recent studies show that 35.7% of students scored lower,
31.2 better grades and 33.1 did not change their grades from street
trading (Johnson, & Ihesie, 2015). This implies this, despite the
challenges it brings. The combination of school and work gives students
who perform better. This situation has nothing to do with factors that
minimize the impact of combining school attendance and cleaning the
throat.
Effect of labour on in-school children can be reduced when
labour time is minimized (Omokhodion et al., 2006). It is not unlikely
that academic performance of child-child labourers would be better when
parent regulate labour time and monitor school work. Labour time is the
period in which students carry out labour. This could vary based on
schedules of school work and/or convenience. Studies suggest the in
school children ` labour time could be: before school hours; after
school hours; before and after school; and weekend/holydays (Education
Research Network for West and Central Africa (ERNWACA), 2010; Ubah,
& Bulus, 2014). Labour time could determine students: attendance in
school; participation in extracurricular activities; amount of time for
study at home and rest. These are factors that are likely to influence
academic performance of students.
On the whole, this survey is
principally aimed at eradicating all those features of our behaviour in
the past which have made our society a by-word for disharmony,
dishonesty, distrust and disservice, the survey aims at raising our
individual and collective consciousness to enable us dream great dream
and attain lofty goals.

ABSRACT - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]The research is concerned with Child Labour in Nigeria, Challenges and Prospects. The most important aspect of this study is to investigate to what extent labour among children affect their moral conducts and social relationship with others because no individual person leaves in isolation, the research also aims at determining the socio-economic effects of labour in order to bring them to the notice of the people and offer possible and valuable suggestions so as to find a lasting solution to the ...
