Poverty and Child Runaways in Africa

Every three seconds, another child living in Africa dies. Many of these children live on the streets of Africa and have to escape due to the harsh conditions of their previous family life not. Every day, thousands of children are dying in every city, and their beliefs have caused many of them to beat or beat. On the streets these kids have experienced unimaginable trials, unbearable pain, finding sufficient hope and optimistic struggle for work and living, and financing for some to support their families We gathered. In order to further understand the hopeless living conditions of African uncontrollable children, it is necessary to review sickness and poverty, live on the street in consideration of previous family life.

In Africa, it is generally thought that poverty is the main cause of child labor, but in recent research it has been shown that the relationship between child labor and poverty is not as simple as a downward linear relationship. For example, in Oryoie, Alwang, Tideman (2017), as per capita land holdings increase (as indicators of rural household wealth), child labor generally decreases, but child labor relations may increase It shows that there is. Ownership of the land close to the center of the land per capita. Poverty, lack of financial resources and constraints of credit, shocks on income, school quality, and parents' attitudes towards education are all related to child labor.

Child labor in Asia and sub-Saharan Africa is a serious problem. The number of child laborers has declined from 2000 to 2004, but there are still many pre-schoolchildren who are child laborers, but most of them are poor. According to a recent survey, child labor unions have shown lowering enrollment rates, adversely affecting academic performance, and lowering graduation rates. Given these reality, recent cash transfer programs have a comprehensive approach to social protection that encourages school education by providing beneficiaries with school education, vaccination or adherence to other health-related conditions It is. These cash transfers programs attempt to eliminate intergenerational poverty cycles, thereby increasing the enrollment rate while reducing the number of child laborers. These programs not only help to achieve universal primary education, one of EFA's goals, but also contribute to long-term educational investment for children.

The main reason for the recruitment of child soldiers in Africa is poverty. "War" itself, diffusion of small arms, lack of education, evacuation and other factors inevitably lead to recruitment of child soldiers, but poverty is the fundamental cause of these situations. Therefore, in this paper, we will demonstrate this case by investigating how Africa achieves such a high level of poverty and showing the relationship between other factors and poverty factors. To determine the meaning of the term "child soldier" it is necessary to first define and define a brief description of recruitment practices. This will allow us to better understand the devastating consequences of not coping with potential causes such as extreme poverty. Subsequently, this article explores the factors that explain the phenomenon of child soldiers in Africa and it is obvious that poverty is a theme that repeatedly occurs through examination of causal factors.
