BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Street dealing and kid hawking have become a global phenomena and a global issue, according to Amato and Kerth (2021). According to the United Nations International Children Education Fund (NCICEF), there are between 100 and 200 million child labourers in both developed and developing nations. According to estimates for Nigeria, 20% of children aged 10 to 14 are participating in child labour and street trade. It is believed that there are between 12 and 15 million juvenile hawkers in Nigeria alone. According to Human Rights Watch (2004), Nigeria has the world's largest child labour force. Several causes have contributed to the enormous growth in child labour and street selling in Nigeria. Less developed nations' fast population growth, high rates of unemployment, inflation, poor salaries, and horrible working conditions have all led to incidences of child hawking and child labour as youngsters try to help support their families (Charles and Charles 2015). According to Arat (2018), the expansion of businesses is also associated with a rise in child hawking and child labour.
The term "Child Hawking" has no widely recognised meaning. However, it might simply be referred to as child abuse by his parents, guardians, or any other adult. Bello (2018) defines child abuse as "willful mistreatment of a youngster under the age of eighteen into street sales." According to them, such treatment might involve both acts of commission (abuse) and omission (neglect). A restricted definition of child hawking is defined as life-threatening, physical abuse, including severe beatings and rape (sexual harassment) inflicted on children by adults in the community. A wider definition, on the other hand, emphasises any treatment other than the best possible care and includes neglect, sexual or emotional abuse, and exploitation. Whichever way this societal problem is defined, the question that arises is, "Are children, who are God's gifts, offered freedom, comfort, and peace by adults in society?"
Under Nigeria, for example, the rights of citizens in Chapter 4 Sections 30, 40 of the Federal Republic of Nigeria's 1999 constitution protect every citizen's basic and fundamental human rights. In this case, the constitution makes no distinction between the rights of adults and minors to trade. As a result, children are supposed to have these rights. With the prevalence of child hawking (abuse) in the country, children are exposed to a variety of societal risks. As a result, this study investigates street hawking in Nigeria with the goal of determining its effects on children.
However, children's social problems have been the subject of intensive empirical research. There are various research on youngsters who are with their parents on weekends and vacations. This research will highlight the risks of street dealing and child hawking as stated by children who participate in these activities.
