Egyptian Child Labor: Agriculture Dominates
The study indicates that 64% of child laborers work in the agricultural sector, with an increasing prevalence of unconventional jobs such as working in tuk-tuks and transportation services, despite the significant risks involved. The causes of this phenomenon include tough economic conditions and limited oversight of workplaces, especially in the informal sector, where risks are multiplied in rural areas and remote locations away from urban centers. The new law regulates the protection of working children, setting the minimum working age and establishing rules for working hours. However, compliance remains weak, and penalties alone are insufficient to address this issue, which negatively impacts children's health and their future.
