What underlying factors contribute to the prevalence of child labor in low-income countries, particularly those with a GNI of less than $1000 per year?

Child labor is often common in low-income countries where people earn less than $1000 a year. One major factor is poverty, as families may need their children to work to help pay for basic needs like food and shelter. Education can also be limited in these areas, making it harder for families to see the value of sending children to school instead of work. Additionally, weak laws and enforcement against child labor mean that employers can hire children without facing serious consequences. For example, in some villages, children might work in agriculture during the day and miss school, continuing a cycle of poverty that makes it hard for families to escape.
