    Abstract: Child labour is a great concern in many developing countries including Tanzania. Despite a number of strategies developed by the Government of Tanzania and ILO to curb the problem for many years, still the problempersist and no convicing information available to explain the phenomenon. This paper examined determinants of Child Labour Elimination (CLE) in Tanzania. The information for this study was obtained from Community Development Workers (CDW) and ward and village/street executive officers who were selected purposively while simple randon sampling (lottery) was used in selecting school children and systematic sampling was used to obtain household heads. Working children were obtained using snowball sampling approach. The sample size used in this study is 478 respondents. Primary data were collected through structured interview while secondary data were obtained from published documents. The data collected were coded and intered into Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) and then analysed using predetermined regression model in the limdep computer software. The study revealed that key determinants of child labour elimination in Tanzania include education, household size, knowledge on child labour concepts, children accessibility to guidance and counseling services, people‟s attitude towards child labour, peoples‟ knowledge on worst forms of child labour, peoples‟ knowledge on child labour elimination strategies, implementation of child labour eliminat ion strategies and cultural acceptance of child labour as part of socialization process. It is therefore, recommended that people be educated on various child labour concepts and the effects of child labour.
