چکیده
Child labour is an issue of growing concern in Afghanistan. According to recent estimates, one in four Afghan children aged seven to 14 is engaged in some form of work.1 This briefing paper explores why children in Afghanistan work, focusing specifically on factors that influence decision-making at the household level. Drawing on findings from an in-depth, qualitative study of poor households that use child labour as well as those that do not, this paper looks beyond poverty to explore the range of social and cultural factors in household decisionmaking about child labour and considers their implications for policy.
