The study investigated child employment in Palestine. The study attempted to answer three key research questions: What were the driving forces behind child employment? What were the consequences of child employment on children and society? And what measurements should be taken to prevent children from being employed? A review of related literature revealed the different dimensions of child employment, and helped to develop the hypotheses of the study. An examination of hypothesized relationship between demographics and child employment revealed the  existence of significant relationship among the variables. The study managed to identify the main characteristics of child employment and the measurements to be taken in order to reduce the level of child employment. Finally, the study concluded that child employment is rooted in the political and socio-economic factors, and it has its negative consequences upon children and community development as a whole. The attempts to establish and execute human resources development plans are likely to be hindered by the present situation of child employment. Therefore, policy makers should deal with this issue as a national priority.
