Abstract—International Labour Organization (ILO)
estimates that there are about 250 million economically active
children worldwide. In Malaysia, although the Children and
Young Persons Act (Employment) 1966 prohibits the children
to be employed, previous studies proved that there are high rate
of working children in certain states in Malaysia. It is believed
that thousands of working children in Malaysia to be in an
environment which is potentially harmful to their physical,
mental, emotional, and social development. To identify the
types and instances of child abuse for the working children, a
study has been conducted to 454 working children in four states
in Malaysia. Based on data analysis, it is found that more than
half (63%) of the working children have been emotionally abuse,
27% physically abused and at least 10% have been sexually
abused. Majority of them are not happy with their current job
and are regretful for not attending school. This represents their
basic necessities to have proper education and they should not
expose to work at this early age. This research contributes to
increase the awareness of public and government to take care of
the need of children basically on the issue of child abuse for
working children.
