The Role of the Algerian Family in Addressing the Phenomenon of Child Labor

Abstract

Child labor is a serious problem that negatively impacts families and society. It undermines a child's personality, harms their health, and negatively affects their future, leading to social problems that threaten family and community stability. Families strive to combat child labor through proper socialization, employing a range of mechanisms including awareness campaigns, supporting children's educational and guidance needs, and ensuring their need for play. They also provide adequate economic and material support, guaranteeing their right to maintenance, suitable housing, and education, and addressing school dropout rates. Ultimately, the family's efforts to combat this phenomenon are insufficient on their own; they require support and assistance from the state, particularly in providing financial and economic support to protect children from labor.
