Resumen
Descripción
Child labour in agriculture is an extensive and critical problem in the world today. It hinders children’s education, health and future employability, perpetuating hunger and rural poverty. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, global progress stalled and the number of children engaged in child labour in agriculture rose, for the first time in decades.
FAO strives to eliminate child labour in agriculture by addressing its root causes and promoting quality education for children, thus ensuring their access to decent employment in the future. In turn, this benefits rural communities and agrifood systems.
