The results of the study found that the average age of child labor was 12.17 years, and most elementary school education was equivalent. The main reason children work is to increase family income and want to have their own income. The average child worker has worked for 2.35 years. There are various types of work carried out by children, with average working hours of child workers 18.25 hours per week and an average income of 217,564 per week.
