Abstract

Working children are part of the future capital and hopes of the country, which in the best days of their lives have to strive for livelihood. The purpose of this study is to identify the factors that cause and expand the harm of employment of working children in Tehran and to investigate its complications. This study was conducted with a qualitative approach, based on the data-based method and with a semi-structured interview tool. Targeted sampling was of 14 working children in Tehran. The results of the analysis of the interviews led to the identification of 40 open codes, 7 central codes and the selected code "working child, neglect of hope-making future".
According to the findings, the factors affecting the creation and increase of working children included factors such as poor differentiation and physical disability, lack of parental care and support for the child, poverty and lack of support for low-income families. . Some effects of this injury were also identified, including weakened self-concept, running away from home, workplace abuse, and a predisposition to delinquency. It is hoped that with deeper studies of the employment dimensions of working children and the use of effective strategies, the path of growth and prosperity of these children will be paved and we will not see any violation of human rights in any child in the world.
