English Abstract

The main objectives of this study stem from the fact that it attempts to introduce the phenomenon of child labour and its major determinants.

This study mainly aims to prioritize key determinants of child labour as the most compelling to a child to join the labour market of Gaza.

The researcher uses the qualitative research methodology.

Data of the study is collected by the tool of semi-structured interviews.

Using the purposive sampling technique, the researcher interviewed thirty child labourers by individual interviews.

The Constant Comparative Method is utilized to analyze data of the qualitative research.

This method applies an inductive strategy to explore the above mentioned objectives of the study following a bottom-up approach.

The findings of the study are based on the emerged patterns during the data analysis process.

They are categorized under two main factors: Push and pull factors that trigger off many of child labourers' decisions to engage in child labour activities in Gaza.

The results of the study prioritize the determinants behind Gaza children's engagement in the labour market in sequence: Wars and conflicts, family dynamics, self-actualization, poverty, contribution to the family, and work conditions and attractions.

This study recommends that potential implementation of the labour laws and monitoring by the interested entities are of the key factors to eradicate child labour in Gaza.

Besides, a regular survey should be conducted to determine and control the phenomenon's magnitude and pervasiveness in our society.
