Forced migration stemming from the ongoing civil war, lack of educational opportunities, and financial problems force school-age Syrian children to work at an early age to contribute to their family budget. Hundreds of thousands of families are forced to migrate because of the massive bombardment of their areas by the Bashar al-Assad regime, backed by Iran and Russia. Being responsible for earning a livelihood, compel Syrian children to drop out of school and work in unhealthy jobs.
