Abstract

Objective: Conduct a systematic review of psychosocial interventions in child labor, examining contributions from various researchers to understand the associated factors, effectiveness and approaches of these interventions. It seeks to contribute to the eradication of child labor by raising awareness and proposing effective actions to support minors exploited at work, focusing on the Ecuadorian context, where a significant increase in child labor has been recorded in recent years. Methodology: The methodology involves a systematic review of studies on psychosocial intervention in child labor. Repositories such as Scielo and Scopus are explored, with articles since 2015, using keywords in Spanish, English and Portuguese. 36 articles are identified, of which 15 are selected for their relevance. The selection is based on criteria such as indexing in Scopus and Scielo, originality and thematic relevance. Results: Child labor generates serious physical and mental health problems in minors. Psychosocial interventions must be comprehensive, restoring children's rights and involving the participation of the family, educators, communities and the State. An inclusive, co-responsible and respectful approach to local cultures is required to permanently eradicate child labor.
