are there working children and child labour in Uganda when it is a signatory to the UN convetion and having UPE?

The objective of this paper was to study working children and child labor among children in Uganda. The most important question paused was if children in child labor were orphans or not. This paper was based on secondary data from the 2005/6 Uganda National household survey.
Overall, 36 percent of the children were involved in some kind of work whether for pay or on own. There are also children who worked for pay, worked for own account and worked for the household. The results further show that child labor accounted for almost one in five (19.2%). Despite Uganda being a signatory to the UN convection on the rights of children, one in three children is working and one in five is involved in child labor.
In urban areas, the proportion of children working for money is also an indication of child labor. Whereas the pretext is that child involved in child labor are mainly orphans, results showed that orphans were not more vulnerable to child labor than other children.
