10. Summary of thesis results
This thesis presents the process of investigating and evaluating the situation of child labor and activities to prevent and address child labor in Ha Dong district. First, a survey is conducted to identify the characteristics of child laborers in order to obtain specific information about child labor. This stage involves approaching child laborers; collecting survey data and information on child labor; analyzing and evaluating; identifying problems related to child labor (diagnosis), determining the causes and consequences of this problem; and based on the survey results and information on child labor, social workers propose several solutions for preventing and addressing child labor.
Through this research, social workers have drawn lessons about the relationship between knowledge, skills, and practical values in social work; experiences in developing practical social work skills; and experiences in addressing the current issue of child labor.
11. Practical applications:
The research findings propose measures to prevent and address child labor. These measures can be applied in practice to prevent and help resolve the current child labor problem in Vietnam in general and Ha Dong district in particular. The experiences gained from the research can be used to develop intervention and support models for child laborers. Simultaneously, it can provide social workers, especially those working in child protection and care, with additional information, knowledge, and experience in assisting child laborers in practice.
12. Further research directions:
1. The trafficking, abuse, and violence against children, especially child labor, are extremely pressing social issues. Recently, numerous cases of trafficking, abuse, and violence against child labor have been reported by security agencies and the media, sparking public outrage over these inhumane acts. In reality, only a few cases have been discovered and brought to light; many more cases of child trafficking, abuse, and violence remain undetected or concealed. These are serious social problems that violate human rights in general and children's rights in particular. Therefore, they require the attention of the entire society, and research on this issue should be implemented soon, along with the development of effective solutions. Proposed research: Social work with children who have been abused and trafficked.
2. The phenomenon of exploiting child laborers who lack understanding and life skills to propagate unhealthy religious ideologies, affecting their psychological well-being and awareness, is a serious concern. Therefore, we need measures to address this issue, especially with the attention and support of state management agencies, scientists, and researchers working together to understand and propose solutions to prevent and stop this problem. Proposed research: Enhancing self-protection skills for child laborers.
