Street trading is an under-researched form of child labour. This study explores experiences of children aged 10–15 in Nigeria, using interviews and focus groups. Children largely accepted the need to contribute economically to the family, as well as their own school expenses. Trading was demanding, and there were hidden costs, such as reduced school attendance, but an emphasis on obedience made challenge difficult. Children felt resistance, but knowledge of their rights did not support acting on these feelings. Accounts demonstrated the difficulties of living at the intersection of competing constructions of childhood.

接受、服从和抵抗：尼日利亚儿童对街头交易的看法

街头交易是一种研究不足的童工形式。本研究通过访谈和焦点小组探讨了尼日利亚 10-15 岁儿童的经历。孩子们基本上接受了为家庭做出经济贡献的需要，以及他们自己的学费。交易要求很高，并且存在隐性成本，例如学校出勤率下降，但对服从的强调使挑战变得困难。孩子们感到抵抗，但对他们权利的了解并不支持根据这些感受采取行动。叙述表明生活在童年竞争结构的交叉点的困难。
