Child labour in agriculture is a global issue, with the agricultural sector accounting for the majority of child labourers
Abstract
This exploratory rapid review finds that child labour in agriculture is a global issue, with the agricultural sector accounting for the majority of child labourers. Across regions and countries agriculture is usually the main sector for children’s economic activity. However, there is considerable variation in the prevalence of child labour between and within countries.
