Child labour hampers children’s education, and quite often has adverse effects on their health, safety and morals. However, not all tasks performed by children are considered child labour. Some activities may help children acquire important livelihood skills and contribute to their survival and food security. But much of the work children do in agriculture is not age-appropriate, is likely to be hazardous or interferes with children’s education. Globally 98 million boys and girls between 5 and 17 years are identified as child laborers in agriculture. In Malawi, as well as in other countries, child labour is deep rooted and pervasive, especially in the agriculture sector. In 2015 FAO, with the financial aid from the Kingdom of the Netherlands, supported the efforts of the Government of Malawi to live up to its commitments to reduce child labour practices in agriculture through a nationwide mass media campaign.
