LE TRAVAIL DES ENFANTS DANS LES MARCHES DE NUIT D’ABIDJAN

Abstract

The problem of child work continues increasingly in developing countries. In Côte d’Ivoire, the practice of children exploitation becomes more and more extensive. Going from practiced activities during the days near the roads and public places, we now notice the increasing of some minors in the night activities and this in all the communes of Abidjan. Working sometime in miserable conditions, these young people are exposed to several dangers (moral, psychological, sociological, physical etc.) the analysis of the reasons of the use of these teenagers shows the problem of poverty crowned by ignorance as well as the lack of rigour of the authorities. It is necessary to act by an increased proximity sensitizing by stressing on the respect of children rights in a country. The fight against poverty could accompany this sensitizing by the creation of small community projects.
