Neutrosophic IADOV in the Analysis of Child Labor and its Causes

Abstract

In Ecuador, there is a systematic regulatory legal framework that contemplates child labor in correspondence with the provisions of international organizations, institutions, treaties, and conventions. A work that is prohibited if its nature or the conditions in which it is carried out, is likely to harm the physical and mental development, health, safety, and morality of minors. The objective of this work is to analyze child labor and its causes. This kind of work is exercised by girls, boys, and adolescents and it hinders, among other things, access to education for those minors. To investigate the causes that provoke it, it is decided to use the Iadov neutrosophic method, to analyze the consensus and acceptance of the experts. It is concluded that poverty is the main cause of child labor. So, the ability of the poorest families to protect their children should be supported.
