The problem is very severe in Sub-Saharan African countries. Among the Sub-Saharan African countries, Ethiopia is one of the countries with a high incidence of child labour. The major objective of this study was to identify and examine the key factors associated with child labour in Ethiopia. Materials and Methods: The study focused on children aged between 5 and 14 years by using the 2013 Ethiopia National Labour Force Survey cross-sectional dataset. Descriptive statistics, binary logistic regression and multilevel logistic regression analyses were used. Results: The two-level logistic regression analysis results revealed that region of residence, sex of the child, age of the child, place of residence, child’s relationship with the household head, literacy status of the household head, employment status of the household head and the household size are significant factors associated with child labour in Ethiopia and also that the effect of place of residence varied across regions of Ethiopia. Conclusion: The current study has revealed key determinants of child labour in Ethiopia and should be of interest to both researchers and practitioners. There is a need to enforce the laws and put in place concrete interventions.]]>Central Statistical Agency,20142014Assefa, A.,20002000ILO.,20132013National Legislative Bodies and National Authorities,20042004Ravallion, M. and Q.
