The main reason behind the child labour phenomena:
Poverty is one of the main reasons for escaping education.
For girls, mainly because of the increase of the educational tools and expensive like school clothes, books, transportation, private lessons and in the addition to the classrooms which is packed with a lot of students, which force the poor families to get their children out of school and driving them into the working market Child labour.
Trough my interviews with the parents of working children I also found out that the increased food prices in Egypt has increased child labour.
The reasons given by child workers themselves in my interviews are:
They wish to earn their own money and contribute to the family income.
Most of the interviewed children reported that they work to support their families and meet their own expenses.
When I asked the parents of these children about the law of child labour:
They told me that the government didn’t help them in anything related to poverty, and also did not give them any solutions of the poverty problem; this means that the government did not respect them so they will not respect the government.
