Abstract

The interests of the child require full material and spiritual support from the government and parents. This research, while examining the causes and consequences of child labor and the negative dimensions of child labor, also deals with the innovative aspect of child labor in a positive aspect. The main goal of this research is to investigate the difference between the phenomenon of "child labor" and "working child "; The negative aspect of banning the phenomenon of child labor, which is prohibited in domestic and international laws, sources and jurisprudential opinions, and the positive aspect of child labor, in which it is permissible to employ the child in suitable jobs for education and earning income, if the interest of the child is respected. This research with descriptive- analytical method and by citing library resources aims to answer the question of whether Iran's legal system has accepted the absolute prohibition of child labor, or whether the jurisprudential-legal criterion of "damage" has been considered by Iran's legal system? Because according to the Child Protection Law, economic exploitation is when a child is assigned to work that is physically, psychologically, morally or socially harmful or dangerous for him. Based on existing legal and jurisprudential sources, it is permissible to employ a child or teenager in a place that is not harmful for him.
