What is it about?
In this manuscript, I found evidence for an observed trade-off between child labor and educational performance of children. According to this study, at relatively low levels of child working hours per week educational attainment of a child increase with work .This is because Work enables children to meet their basic needs,. Beyond some turning point, however, educational attainment of a child decline with work mainly because high levels of child working hours per week lowers school attendance of child and frequent absent in school and hence lower grade attainment of a child. Thus in the study area I found a inverted u shape relationship between child labor hours and human capital formation

Why is it important?
There are mixed results concerning the consequence of child labor. Some argued that child labor is good because it generates income for the family, but others said child labor is not good because it affects accumulation of human capital. Thus, this paper tried to merge these two different extremists on child labor.
Perspectives
The reason way it has to be given due attention for child labor are many, among them, the first reason is related to protection of children, the second concern is associated with the development of children, to become productive adults; children need to acquire skills and knowledge which they get through formal schooling, the third concern is related to economic and labor market impacts of child labor. Especially for unskilled adult labor, child labor displaces adult labor and pushes their wage downwards, which is as for the more pragmatic reasons, child labor may, under certain circumstances, bring down adult wages and create a vicious cycle of child labor and poverty. Due to the above reasons this paper is very essential to address the cause of child labor and to implement a suitable policy and strategy to tackle the cause of child labor.
