Agency and Norms in Child Labour Eradication
The global prevalence estimates of child labour have reported an increase, for the first time in two decades (ILO, 2021, p.9). According to the ILO and NBS, 39.2% of children engaged in child labour in Nigeria. Among the antecedents of child labour, including poverty, parental history of child labour, immigration status, and educational status, recent research evidence from several countries identifies social and cultural norms as one of the key causes of child labour. Social norms regulate people's actions within the social order and characterize shared expectations among people.
Osoba Olukemi Olapeju, an experienced professional, shared insights on approaches to address the social norms perpetuating child labour by bridging the knowledge gap and empowering listeners to challenge social norms that perpetuate child labour.
