More than 1.3 million children in Yemen are involved in child labour.
This means 17 per cent of Yemen’s 7.7 million children in the 5-17 age group and 11 per cent of those aged 5-11 are involved in child labour.
As child labourers anyone under the age of 14 who is employed, and those in the 14-17 age group who work more than 30 hours a week, or are involved in any designated hazardous economic activities and occupations.
Child labor is not only a Yemeni phenomenon but also seen in other developing countries due to the difficult economic situation and poverty and the increase of the population. Low income and many mouths to feed parents to pushing of the child to a labor shop
Many reasons can be behind this phenomenon, such as:
1-Early marriage: the child will stop his studies and is going out to seek a different life for him and his family, leaving school and education.
2-Parents illiteracy: studied proved that more than 97% of child workers are children of illiterate parents.
And many more
Especially in the absence of security . I would like to emphasize that we find such things as the increase in the number of street children, children labor 
among others are due to the unstable current situation in Yemen
