This indicator provides insights into the dual role of male children aged 7-14 who are engaged in both educational pursuits and economic activities. Defined as
boys who partake in at least one hour of work within a specified week while simultaneously attending school, this measurement captures the
intersection of childhood development and economic participation. The percentage reveals not only the
prevalence of child labor in this age group, but also highlights the socioeconomic factors that compel young boys to balance educational commitments with work. Understanding this dynamic is essential for policymakers aiming to improve educational access and protect children from exploitative labor practices, ensuring that their formative years are prioritized for learning and growth.
