Associations Between Child Labour, Child Discipline and Psychosocial Functioning of Children and Adolescents in Laos

Abstract

The findings highlight strong associations between exposure to psychological and physical disciplinary practices, as well as child labour, and a wide range of psychosocial functioning difficulties among children and adolescents. These results underscore the urgent need for interventions aimed at reducing harmful disciplinary practices and child labour to support children's well-being.
