Child labor is a worldwide problem that mostly affects countries with less developed infrastructure and economies. This study aims to evaluate the sociodemographic features and fundamental reasons of child labor in Tangail City. There are many different reasons why young people are entering the workforce, such as low socioeconomic status and family poverty, parent death, illness, or disability, a lack of social security and protection, or limited access to education. Every child’s development is hampered by child work, as is the community and economy in which they reside. Global estimates place the number of youngsters working at 152 million (88 million boys and 64 million girls), or over one in ten of all children worldwide. Unfortunately, children from low-income families often withstand the worst of their suffering, which may push many weaker youngsters into situations where they are forced to work as slaves. According to the demographic data, 30% of child laborers have never attended school, and the majority of child laborers are young (13–17 years old). According to this research, educational programs for parents and kids will hasten the abolition of child labor.
