MYSERY AND MYOPIA: CHILD TRAFFICKING IS A CHANNEL TO WORST FORMS OF CHILD LABOUR IN ETHIOPIA

Dr. A. P. Senthil Kumar

Abstract :

<p>&nbsp;Ethiopia is on the horns of Africa. It is endowed with a dynamic, youthful and entrepreneurial population and an&nbsp;</p> <div>abundance of natural resources. Yet, for too many years, peoples of regions have been suffering from child trafficking,&nbsp;</div> <div>child labour, poverty and hunger. The twin problems of child trafficking and child labour have various and complex&nbsp;</div> <div>causes that could be put under categories such as domestic/ national, regional and international causes. Methodologically, this paper is based&nbsp;</div> <div>on the analysis of secondary sources. This article analyzes, in a quasi comparative approach, the domestic, regional and international factors&nbsp;</div> <div>responsible for the child labour and child trafficking in Ethiopia.</div>
