Background and Aim: This research has investigated the factors affecting the victimization of children labour using field and analytical data. This issue is of particular importance considering the increase in the number of children labour and the social and personal consequences resulting from it. This research aims to identify the economic, social and cultural factors affecting the victimization of children labour and to provide solutions to reduce it. In previous researches, the criminological and social aspects of child labor delinquency have been mostly discussed and the influence of certain factors such as poverty, economic and social inequalities and the family environment have been less investigated. By filling these gaps, this research tries to clarify the role of these factors by analyzing statistical data and presenting a multidimensional model.
Method: This research was conducted in a quantitative field based on the distribution of a questionnaire and its analysis using various statistical tests.
Results: The findings show that there is a significant relationship between the economic status of the family, the parents’ level of education and the living conditions of the children with the possibility of delinquency. In particular, children who are forced to work due to poverty or family problems are more vulnerable to injury. Also, data analysis showed that boys are more prone to delinquency than girls and the state of residence (urban or rural) also has a significant effect on the level of delinquency.
Conclusion: The statistical results show that there is a significant relationship between the educational status and residence of children with victimization. The chi-square test showed that illiterate children or school dropouts are more prone to delinquency and the significance level of this relationship was less than 0.05. Also, 89.3 percent of children who are forced to work due to the financial needs of their families are more vulnerable to injury. The chi-square test for the relationship between forcing children to work due to family problems and job satisfaction also showed a significant level of 0.025. In terms of employment status, 40.6% of children had temporary jobs and 27.8% of them had an income of less than 5 million Tomans per month, while 37.2% did not know their income. These results highlight the importance of economic and educational factors in the victimization of working children.
