Abstract
Based on Article 31(1), the rights of the child to rest and leisure, and applying sociology of childhood
as our theoretical approach, we investigated leisure and play among working children in Addis
Ababa, Ethiopia. Data from 45 qualitative interviews shows that the reasons behind work vary
among children. For some, the primary motivation for work is getting money for recreation,
while others are obliged to help families. Accordingly, leisure and play have different meanings
for different children.
