The study focused on child labour and academic performance of learners in Bombo
town council, Luwero District .This study was based on three objectives, i.e. to find
the causes of child labor in Bombo town council, to identify effects of child labour
on academic performance and solutions
The study employed a cross sectional survey with 196 respondents selected by
simple random sampling. The schools and respondents were randomly selected.
Qualitative and quantitative data collections methods were used. Data were coded,
cleared and entered EPI-DATA and reported to SPSS for analysis.
About 52.3% of the respondents were female and 47.4% being male. Most
respondents were below the age of 19 and majority were in 0 level
In conclusion, the major cause of child labour is poverty since most parents lie
below the poverty line.

means of fighting child labour in our community. The government should therefore
enforce laws on human right to combat this evil.
