Abstract
This research paper aims to highlight the phenomenon of child labour in Africa by providing an analytical reading and theoretical overview of its various dimensions.It begins by defining the conceptual framework of child labour and reviewing its manifestations and forms.It then identifies the main factors and causes that push children into the workforce and analyses the impact of child labour on children and society as a whole, focusing on the psychological effects.The paper also refers to the difficulties and obstacles involved in eradicating this phenomenon and concludes with a participatory, integrative approach to addressing the problem in Africa and mitigating its negative impacts.Despite their differences, nations and societies strive for development and progress by utilising all available means, resources and capabilities.Achieving this goal certainly requires the interaction and harmony of all these elements and resources through a fundamental activity: work.Work is an organised effort integrating the physical and mental capabilities of individuals to achieve various objectives that enhance well-being and quality of life for individuals, communities and nations.Citation
