Abstract

The main focus of this study is to find out the socio-economic conditions of the child labor in Khulna city of Bangladesh. Following survey research design, the data were collected from 120 working children, selected randomly from four wards of Khulna City Corporation of Bangladesh. Findings reveal that large family size and poverty forced the children to get involved in laborious work, with inappropriate wage, at the very early age to support their family, financially. In addition, heavy and hard manual works, together with frequent physical tortures, made these young children very vulnerable, physically and mentally; hence demand special attention for remedies.
