The study presented the situation of families displaced by armed conflicts in Midsayap, North Cotabato and determined the factors that contribute to the length of work of the child laborer. Majority of the child laborers are males. Most of these children experienced 1 to 2 conflicts. RIDO was the primary reason of the displacement. During conflicts, families are often resettled at Barangay Nes, Midsayap, North Cotabato. Displacement reduced income of the affected families and contributed to the supply of child labor. Children in the labor force complained of heavy physical work. Since very few wear protective devices, many of these children are exposed to extreme heat, minor cuts and slight wounds. Worst, none of them received medical services. Age, number of years in formal schooling, and, childhood experience as child laborer of the mother were the factors that affected the supply of child labor.
