In Lebanon, child labour – work that is hazardous for children, exposing them to violence, exploitation and abuse and depriving them of an education - has become a growing challenge partly due to the impact of the Syria crisis on the economy and on families struggling to survive. Increasing numbers of children have become breadwinners for their family, working long hours with low wages, sometimes in the worst forms of child labour. While progress has been made to place Syrian refugee children into educational institutes, 70% are still out of school in Lebanon.
