Abstract
The study at over all estimated that about 1 in 3 children aged 5-14 years in sub-Saharan
Africa are employed compared with Central and Eastern Europe/Common wealth of
Independent States (CEE/CIS) regions. Where only 1 out of 20 children is employed, In
absolute terms, 69 million children in sub-Saharan Africa, or 35% of the child population, are
engaged in child labor (ILO, 2006). This statistic leaves sub-Saharan Africa, including
Ethiopia, the most dominant in terms of widespread child labor.
This study was conducted in East shawa districts of Adami Tulu Jido Combolcha Woreda.
Specifically, the study was carried out with the following objectives: To examine the impact
of lack of time on primary education access and participation, to determine the impact of low
school attendance on access and participate in primary education activities carried out by
school-age children regarding access to and participation in primary education. The study
used purposive sampling and snowball techniques, with the participation of 60 respondents.
Both techniques are practical due to the nature of the research. Child labor has been found to
have a huge impact on school-going students because it deprives children of their right to
access and participate in primary education. Research shows that low school attendance and
absenteeism are the main influeances of child labor on children's access to and participation
in primary education, as they affect children's learning outcomes. In addition, the study found
that most laws relating to child education have loopholes, enabling another 4,444 acts of child
labor in Ethiopia. It is therefore imperative that governments and all other responsible
agencies ensure that policies and legislation address child labor issues and, in particular,
children's participation in school works
