Abstract

This study examines the pervasive issue of child labour in Africa. Through a multidimensional PESTLE analysis, the research identifies key drivers, including poverty, weak governance, inadequate legal enforcement, technological deficits, and environmental crises. It highlights the severe physical, mental, and developmental consequences for children trapped in labour. The study recommends integrated strategies such as economic diversification, technological modernization, legal reform, and international cooperation to create sustainable solutions.
