Abstract:
The 2030 deadline for eradicating child marriage set forth in SDG is
made challenging by COVID-19. According to UNICEF, Covid-19 increased
the likelihood of child marriage for 10 million more girls. The
negative effects of the epidemic have increased the probability of child
marriage and school dropouts worldwide. After 543 days of closed educational
facilities in Bangladesh, particularly schools and colleges, the
number of unfilled seats in classrooms revealed a heightened worry about
dropouts. Following a qualitative study and review of the literature from
Bangladesh, this study explored the trends and impact of covid-19 on the
growing number of child marriages and school dropouts, as well as the
repercussions of how it jeopardizes the accomplishment of relevant sustainable
development objectives. According to this study, child marriage
and school dropout rates will in the near future increase the intergenerational
poverty rate nationwide.
