Abstract
There is a worldwide discussion on child work, with the potential for global persuasion and policy intervention, replacing the previous focus on regional and national issues. Furthermore, it came back to light as a crucial matter, particularly in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. During the pandemic, children have encountered several difficulties worldwide, with child labour being one among them. Thus, the paper attempts to discuss child labour and how it relates to the pandemic. The paper moreover examines records from international agencies with an emphasis on the dynamics of child labour. It also examines the reasons for the sharp rise in child labour during COVID-19 worldwide. Keywords: COVID-19, Child Labour, Children rights, SDG, UNICEF
