Abstract

Background: The literature related to child labor discusses the causes and socioeconomic factors contributing to child labor but very few studies examine the quality of life among child workers. The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to investigate the quality of life (QoL), socioeconomic and labor related factors in young aged 14-16 in Manisa city. Methods: The study population consisted of 266 students who were attending to Apprentice Training Center in Manisa. QoL of the subjects were measured by the adolescent version of KINDL-R (Kiddo-Kindl). Odds ratios (95% Confidence Interval) were used in the assessment. Logistic regression analysis was performed in multivariate analysis. Results: Of the 253 adolescent workers, 77.9% were male, with a mean age of 15.6(0.5). According to logistic regression analysis; being female (OR=2.9), lack of family health insurance (OR=2.3), being exposed to family violence (OR=3.7) and absenteeism (OR=2.4) were associated with total Qol. Lack of family health insurance, insufficiency in family income, using alcohol, being exposed to family violence, job dissatisfaction and father illiteracy were associated with poorer QoL of six domains of KINDL-R. Conclusion: The findings of this study concludes that, socioeconomic, family and job related variables are factors associated with QoL in adolescent workers.

Özet

Çocuk işçiliği ile ilgili literatürde daha çok sosyoekonomik faktörler tartışılmakta yaşam kalitesine ilişkin pek az çalışma bulunmaktadır. Bu kesitsel araştırmada Manisa'da 14-16 yaşındaki işçilerde yaşam kalitesi sosyoekonomik ve işle ilgili değişkenleri incelemek amaçlanmıştır. Manisa'da Çıraklık Eğitim Merkezi'ne devam eden 266 öğrenci çalışma grubunu oluşturmuştur. Araştırma grubunun yaşam kalitesi KINDL-R adolesan versiyonu ile değerlendirilmiştir. Veri analizinde %95 güven aralığında olasılık hızları hesaplanmış,çok değişkenli analizde lojistik regresyon analizi kullanılmıştır. 253 adolesan işçinin %77.9'u erkek, yaş ortalaması 15.6(0.5) dır. Lojistik regresyon analizine göre;kız cinste olmak (OR=2.9),ailenin sağlık güvencesinin olmaması (OR=2.3), aile içi şiddete maruz kalma (OR=3.7) ve işe devamsızlık (OR=2.4) toplam yaşam kalitesi ile ilişkilidir. Ailenin sağlık güvencesinin olmaması, aile gelirinin yetersizliği, alkol kullanımı, aile içi şiddete maruz kalma, iş doyumsuzluğu ve babanın eğitimsiz oluşu KINDL-R yaşam kalitesi ölçeğinin altı alanının kötü oluşuyla ilişkilidir. Bu çalışmanın sonuçlarına göre, adolesan işçilerin yaşam kaliteleri sosyoekonomik, aile ve işle ilgili değişkenlerle ilişkili bulunmuştur.
