Difference between multivariate and bivariate analysis

Hello, the background of my research is child labour. I have collected my data by conducting survey with open ended questions. Now i have to work on my data analysis.
I googled the methods of data analysis appropriate for my research background and i found that there are two ways through which i can analyse my data collected one is multivariate and another one is bivariate analysis but, the problem is that i have no idea which one of them would be most suited for research. Also, i don’t have much knowledge about each one of them.
So my main concern for writing this query is to gather information about both of these data analysis methods.

Bivariate and multivariate analysis are statistical strategies to explore connections between data samples. Bivariate investigation is used when there are two paired data sets, studying the relationship between them. Multivariate examination is used when two or more variables are analyzed. The objective in the last case is to figure out which factors impact or cause the result.

Bivariate analysis and multivariate analysis are both used to examine relationships between variables, but the right choice depends entirely on the number of variables you want to study simultaneously. Since you collected data through open-ended survey questions, you must first convert the text into numerical data (via coding or theme quantification) before applying these statistical methods.
