ABSTRACT

This paper explores the alarming resurgence of child labour across both developing and developed nations, focusing on the socio-economic causes, global data trends, and the effect of recent global crises, particularly the COVID-19 pandemic. As millions of children are pulled from classrooms and pushed into exploitative labor, the study evaluates global statistics, regional case studies, and the effectiveness of international and national policy interventions. The paper concludes with evidence-based recommendations to reduce child labour and restore educational access.
