They are working in mines, factories, housekeeping services etc. It provides negative impact on their health, damages their physical development and puts them on emotional crisis. The data have been collected from “The bureau of statistics Bangladesh”. The statistical analysis have been based on regression analysis which was performed in excel. The output of ANOVA table from regression analysis has been used to analyze the distribution of child labour throughout Bangladesh in statistical perception along with fitted line plot and bar graph.
