Background To The Study

The growth of road peddling in Nigeria has gotten so popular that it has now come a source of concern to education. For the time being, there’s no extensively agreed meaning for the expression child peddling, still, it might simply be appertained to as the abuse of a child by his or her parents, guardians, or any other grown-up in his or her presence. Child abuse, according to Edu and Edu( 1990), is defined as the purposeful mistreatment of a child under the age of eighteen times into road deals. According to them, similar treatment might involve both acts of commission( abuse) and elision( mistreatment). A restrictive meaning of child peddling is associated with life- hanging physical violence, similar as violent beatings and rape( sexual importunity), which are foisted on children by an adult member of the community, according to the description. Another description places focus on any treatment that’s lower favorable than the most favorable care and includes neglect, sexual and/ or emotional abuse, and exploitation among its numerous factors.

road trading and child peddling have evolved into a worldwide marvels and a global source of solicitude for people each over the world. In both industrialized and developing nations, according to the United Nations International Children Education Fund( NCICEF), between 100 and 200 million children are employed as farmworkers or domestic workers. Children between the periods of 10 and 14 in Nigeria are estimated to be sharing in child labor and road dealing at a rate of 20, according to government estimates. Nigeria alone is allowed to contain between 12 and 15 million child peddlers , according to some estimates.

According to Human Rights Watch( 2004), Nigerians have the world’s biggest child labor force, counting for a quarter of the global aggregate. A number of causes have contributed to Nigeria’s tremendous swell in child labor and road peddling, some of which are listed then. Because of the fast population expansion in developing nations, high rates of severance, affectation, poor hires, and horrible working conditions, circumstances of child peddling and child labor have increased as youths seek to help in furnishing for their families’ requirements( Charles and Charles 2004, Deth 1993). It has also been suggested by Arat( 2002) that the growth of enterprises may be associated with an increase in child peddling and child labor. Socioeconomic ails that impact children have been the subject of important empirical inquiry. It’s true that innumerous studies have been conducted on children who, together with their parents, are out of the house on weekends and leaves. It’s hoped that this exploration would bring to light the hazards connected with road trading and child peddling, as described by children who are involved in these actions.

Statement Of Problem

road trading and child peddling, on the other hand, may affect in behavioral patterns that are mischievous to responsible citizenship. Their undesirable conduct or illegal acts similar as harlotry, fortified thievery, and pick pocketing may affect in them being arrested and doomed to captivity. According to Humert( 2009) and Humphrices ( 2010), In an attempt to address the issue of child peddling and labor, several government measures have been put in place, still all have been ineffective. This is most probably due to the poor socioeconomic condition of the maturity of Nigerians, who earn just enough to give for themselves and their families’ requirements. Several experimenters, including Oruwari( 1996), Okojie( 1987), and Aderinto( 2000), have linked the marvels of child peddling and educational development to the socio- profitable position of underprivileged parents who live on the perimeters of metropolitan husbandry. This exploration will give answers to the problems of child peddling and child development that are now being delved .

Limitation Of The Study

Like in every mortal bid, the experimenters encountered slight constraints while carrying out the study. The significant constraint was the skimp literature on the subject owing that it’s a new converse therefore the experimenter incurred more fiscal charges and important time was needed in sourcing for the applicable accoutrements , literature, or information and in the process of data collection, which is why the experimenter resorted to a limited choice of sample size covering only elderly secondary seminaries in Owerrinta axis in Isiala Ngwa South original government area of Abia State. therefore findings of this study can not be used conception in other elderly secondary seminaries in other countries within Nigeria. also, the experimenter will contemporaneously engage in this study with other academic work will stymie maximum devotion to the exploration. Howbeit, despite the constraint encountered during the exploration, all factors were played down in other to give the stylish and make the exploration successful.
