A number of studies have examined some forms of child labor, but there are no studies that systematically address the various forms of child labor, their contexts, characteristics, and consequences. In this study, using a qualitative method, the forms of child labor in Tehran have been studied. The study was conducted using the grounded theory method. The study population consists of three groups of children, their employers and child specialists. In order to analyze the findings, a three-step coding method was used to construct the theory of child labor. Findings show that children in Tehran work in various forms of work, including the worst form of work. The relations of these works are divided into three categories: kinship, employer and organized. The main causes of child labor are the development gap in the country, the war and poverty in Afghanistan, the poverty of families, the culture of some communities about children and child labor, the informal labor market and the legal framework and law enforcement. Also, the reasons for children and their families to work are to cover part of the household expenses, to learn skills in the absence of a link between education and employment. The main strategies of children and their families are a number of actions in order to promote and increase income and reduce work risks. In addition to being exploited, children in various forms of work, depending on their circumstances and characteristics, harms their physical and mental health and disorder their effective socialization.

This study aimed to assess the application of a task-centered model in social work on children labour’s tendency to high risk behaviors. Trough using a Randomized Controlled Trial, 30 children labour aged 13 15 years with higher risk behaviors based on Iranian adolescent risk questionnaire were recruited in to the intervention and control groups (each one = 15). We applied the intervention based on Professor Garvin's (1974) task-centered group protocol during 10 sessions. Iranian questionniar of tendency to high risk behaviors was used to measure dependent variables, comparing pre, and post measures between the groups and within each group. ANCOVA test was applied to analyze the data. The results showed that in pre-test, there were no significant differences between the groups in term of tendency to high risk behaviors and its dimensions and its domains but in post tests, there were significant differences. In conclusion, the task-centerd model in social work can be effective in reducing the high risk behaviours among children labour.
