FAO observes the World Day Against Child Labour
Nearly 60% of child labour worldwide takes place in agriculture, affecting 98 million girls and boys, and hindering agricultural and rural development.
Today, 8 June 2016, FAO celebrates the 2016 World Day Against Child Labour, focused on ending child labour in agricultural supply chains, and launches the FAO-ILO e-Learning Course "End Child Labour in Agriculture". The course has been designed to equip agricultural stakeholders with the required skills and knowledge to prevent and reduce child labour in agriculture.
