<![CDATA[Abstract. This study aims to determine the influence of child labor on the school dropout rate among the Kajang Ammatoa tribe and to analyze the extent to which socio-cultural, economic, and educational access factors moderate the relationship between child labor and school dropout rates. This research employs a quantitative approach with an associative research design. The study population consists of 50 individuals divided into five categories: school dropouts, working children who are still in school, parents, traditional leaders, and teachers or school representatives. The sample was determined using a purposive sampling technique, resulting in 44 respondents. Data were collected through questionnaires and documentation, and analyzed using simple linear regression, moderated regression analysis (MRA), t-test (partial), and f-test (simultaneous) with the assistance of SPSS version 26. The results show that, partially, child labor has a significant effect on school dropout rates among the Kajang Ammatoa community. However, simultaneously, the combined influence of child labor with socio-cultural, economic, and educational access factors is not significant in increasing school dropout rates.
