There are about 250 million child laborers in the world, in sub-Saharan Africa, and around half of child laborers – 115 million children in total - are engaged in hazardous employment. About 7.5 million children are estimated to be found in Ethiopia. Most of the children have no educational opportunities because they are engaged in child labor (ILO 1996). Girls are more vulnerable than boys and they represent 54% of the out-of-school population. Girls work in the household, agricultural work and home-based work is often vital for survival although their work is largely invisible and unvalued.
