Data collection exercise involved the use of questionnaires, interview and observation of the children at work. Conducted in a business district Ibadan, Nigeria, the study reveals that the children are generally pushed out of their household given the increasing instability of maintenance; attracted to street trading beacause of its economic yields; sustained in the job by the harmonious social context, but continuously being ruined and denied of their future by the hazards of the hazards of the workplace and the anti-social elements that they daily come in contact with on the streets. Major recommendations include a reworking of various economic policies, the proper implementation of the Family Economic Advancement Programme (FEAD) involvement of various voluntary organizations and a conducive educational and political atmosphere. | ||
