Neutrosophic multicriteria method to determine the prevalence of child labor and the violation of the fundamental rights of children and adolescents

Abstract

The abolition of child labor is stipulated in several articles of different legal bodies: Art. 138 of the International Labor Organization (ILO), mentions the abolition of child labor; Art. 46, #2 of the Constitution of the Republic of Ecuador (CRE) establishes that the work of minors under fifteen years of age is prohibited, and policies for the progressive eradication of child labor will be implemented; as well as Art. 83 of the Code of Children and Adolescents (CNA), ratifies the eradication of child labor. This research proposes a multi-criteria neutrosophic method to determine the prevalence of child labor and the violation of the fundamental rights of children and adolescents. Additionally, research instruments are applied that allowed obtaining information on the proliferation of child labor through a questionnaire guide, as well as the development of a quantitative research of theoretical design of a socio-legal type and pre-experimental design, which will allow contributing to the proposal to socialize regulations and/or legal alternatives so that those who abuse hiring minors under fifteen years of age are effectively sanctioned.
