This is a really peculiar question, and I don't know the answer for a fact. But I suspect that most are captive prisoners, and fight so they aren't killed or mutilated.

Its my understanding that the "owners" of the child soldiers get them hooked on some drug, like heroin, and then use that drug as the children's payment. This keeps the kids unaware and still interested in being a soldier.

I don't know why I'm answering this is r/needadvice though haha

I think (hope?) this question belongs on AskReddit.

Not really. Askreddit is geared more towards "What do you like" type questions. It is more for polling, than asking for answers.

Yes. Sometimes.

According to an essay by P. W. Singer in "The Enablers of War: Causal Factors behind the Child Soldier Phenomenon" found in Child Soldiers in the Age of Fractured States, "One survey of child soldiers in Burundi found that only 6 percent had received any sort of remuneration. In the Eastern Congo (DRC), only 10 percent had ever been paid."
