dc.description.abstractThe occurrence of digital labour in the contemporary modern technology has ushered in a new discourse surrounding children's rights, particularly their entitlement to equitable compensation. Employing a qualitative approach, the study investigates the prevalence and nature of digital child labour, the factors driving its incidence, and the extent to which children should be compensated for their digital work. Drawing a qualitative analysis of digital platforms, the research will attempt to unravel the complexities surrounding children's participation in the digital economy. Key findings suggest that digital child labour is pervasive across various digital platforms, encompassing activities such as content creation, online storytelling, social media marketing, and online gaming. Despite children’s meaningful contributions to the digital economy, there is a notable lack of fair compensation and recognition for their labour. Furthermore, children frequently encounter exploitation, substandard working conditions, and infringements upon their rights in digital labour environments. This study underscores the importance of upholding the rights of children to fair compensation in the digital realm and calls for the implementation of comprehensive legal frameworks and policies to protect children from exploitation and ensure their fair treatment. Recommendations put forth include the implementation of regulatory mechanisms to oversee digital labour practices, fostering awareness about children's rights among other suggestions. This research will attempt to shed light on the urgent need to address digital child labour and advocates for the safeguarding of children's rights to fair compensation and dignified working conditions in the digital age.
