    Ce document fournit des informations et des preuves sur la manière dont la pandémie de covid-19 et les réponses politiques connexes pour freiner sa propagation influencent le risque de travail des enfants dans l'agriculture par différentes voies. Il s'appuie sur des études de cas dans sept pays couvrant différents systèmes de production, notamment: Côte d'Ivoire (cacao), Éthiopie (élevage et agriculture), (Liban (horticulture et serres), Philippines (pêcheries municipales) et Viet Nam (agriculture, élevage et filières agrumes). Sur la base de ces preuves, le document fournit des réflexions et des recommandations sur les domaines prioritaires concernant la génération de connaissances et la collecte de données, les réponses politiques (protection sociale, éducation) et les réponses au niveau des ménages et des communautés.

    The relations between climate change and child labour in agriculture
    Evidence on children’s work trends after climate-related events in Côte d’Ivoire, Ethiopia, Nepal and Peru

    Climate change-related events undermine children’s educational attainment, exposing them to child labour, hazardous work and forced migration. This nexus is particularly relevant for agriculture and its subsectors: indeed, they absorb about 26 percent of the economic impacts of climate change-related disasters and host 70 percent of all child labour. This study aims to identify the extent to which climate change-related events and impacts affect child labour in agriculture by exploring the underlying connection between the two challenges as the initial step towards integrating a child labour lens within the international community’s work on climate change. It showcases the multi-dimensional relationship through a mixed-methods approach in four countries: Côte d'Ivoire, Ethiopia, Nepal and Peru. The qualitative and quantitative findings propose a set of policy implications that are in line with the concept that one-size-fits-all policy prescriptions are unlikely to work, as they must be tailored to different communities based on their characteristics.

    A global review of COVID-19 policy and programmatic responses to child labour in agrifood systems 2022
    Also available in:

    This review aims to look into the consequences of (1) the COVID-19 pandemic and the measures put in place to mitigate the spread of the pandemic and (2) the policies and programmatic responses to mitigate socio-economic consequences of the pandemic and how they have potentially interacted with child labour drivers, especially in agrifood systems. Thus, this review aims to document and spell out how policy and programmatic responses to the COVID-19 pandemic, in particular social protection measures, have the potential to prevent or contain an increase of child labour in agriculture at large.
