Synopsis (short abstract) This document summarizes the online discussion How can agricultural policies and strategies help to end child labour in agriculture? held on the FAO Global Forum on Food Security and Nutrition (FSN Forum) from 27 April to 25 May 2020. The discussion was facilitated by Jessie Rivera Fagan of FAO in Rome, Italy. The discussion was part of FAO’s activities leading up to the International Year for the Elimination of Child Labour in 2021 and of its broader efforts to contribute to the progress in achieving Target 8.7 of the Sustainable Development Goals by 2025. A comprehensive multisectoral approach is often needed to address child labour in agriculture. Therefore, participants were invited to share information and case studies on policies and programmes which have been effective at reducing child labour in agriculture in relation to the following aspects: 1) hunger and malnutrition; 2) climate change and environmental degradation; 3) family farming; 4) innovation; 5) public and private investment; 6) attention to domestic supply chains; and 7) cross-sectoral policies and strategies.

Will promotion of agricultural mechanization help prevent child labour?
Policy brief
2021

Also available in:

No results found.

The FAO-IFPRI study, of which this policy brief is a summary, focuses on the use of tractors because they are among the most versatile farm mechanization tools and are universal power sources for all other driven implements and equipment in agriculture, with significant potential to replace animal draught power and human power, including children’s muscle power. Tractor use is typically also the first type of machine-powered equipment in use at lower levels of agricultural development, the context where most child labour is found. Mechanization is mostly assumed to reduce child labour, as it is expected to be labour saving in general. Yet, this is not always the case, as it has also been observed that the use of tractors and other machinery could increase children’s engagement in farm activities. This may be the case if, for instance, their use allows farms to cultivate larger areas, or if it leads to shifting chores of work from hired labor to family workers, e.g. for weeding edges of farmland not reachable by machinery. Evidence has been scant thus far, but the few available studies have mostly lent greater support to the hypothesis that mechanization reduces children’s productive engagement. Most available studies have focused on specific cases and based on scant data. The new FAO-IFPRI study provides a rigorous quantitative assessment for seven developing countries in Asia (India, Nepal and Viet Nam) and sub-Saharan Africa (Ethiopia, Ghana, Nigeria and Tanzania) based on comparable farm household survey data.

Food security, nutrition, and ending child labour in agriculture for recovery and resilience 2021

Also available in:

No results found.

An advocacy note has been developed by the FAO, the Global Food Security Cluster, and the WFP to mobilize food and agricultural stakeholders and to upscale action towards the reduction of child labour in agriculture in humanitarian contexts. Special attention should address the heightened risk of child labour in food crises, protracted conflicts and natural disasters. In a crisis or humanitarian setting, tackling child labour through agriculture, food security and nutrition programming is key for recovery and resilience. Well-timed interventions for crisis-affected populations can help to prevent, mitigate, or even eliminate child labour in agriculture, while strengthening livelihoods and building sustainable and secure food systems.

Accelerating action to help to end child labour in agriculture in Asia
Regional Workshop on Ending Child Labour in Agriculture, 28 September 2021: Regional report
2021

Also available in:

The policy paper includes a description of the child labour context and importance of the problem in Asia. It analyses a wide body of data and characteristics of child labour in agriculture in Asia. This paper seeks to analyse challenges in the region with a focus on the issue of child labour in agriculture and the underlying causes in which agricultural stakeholders can make a difference: rural poverty, social protection in rural areas, safe agricultural practices, labour-saving practices, gender equality, access to education in rural areas, food security. The paper highlights the relationship between child labour in agriculture with rural poverty and food insecurity in Asia. It encompasses specific challenges of the region that have an impact on child labour and rural livelihoods are Covid-19 pandemic, natural disasters, climate change, protracted crisis, massive displacement of populations, armed conflicts, etc. This paper pinpoints examples of regional challenges with a focus on Fisheries and Aquaculture sub-sector and on crop farming (rice ). The paper provides a comprehensive summary and analysis of regional and national child labour policies/roadmaps/initiatives such as ASEAN roadmap on the elimination of the worst forms of child labour and the case of Vietnam as Pathfinder country for Alliance 8.7. It looks into examples of good practices of countries that are making progress, in particular Cambodia, Pakistan and Philippines. This paper includes a set of recommendations and suggested policies to support the prevention of child labour in agriculture in Asia.
