Acting together to end child labour in agriculture
Today, almost 1 in 10 of all children worldwide is engaged in child labour and the largest share remains in agriculture, with 112 million children in total – 70 percent of all child labour.
To mobilize global action and identify and expand concrete solutions to eradicate child labour in agriculture, we are launching the Global Solutions Forum. The online event is organized in the context of the International Year for the Elimination of Child Labour and will bring together representatives of ministries of agriculture, fisheries, livestock and forestry, producers and farmers' organizations, workers' organizations, development banks, businesses, civil society and academia, children, youth advocates, and former child labourers, among others.
