Hazardous child labour in agriculture and forestry: guide for municipal advisors for agriculture and rural development

This guide is designed as an aid to the municipal advisors for agriculture and rural development to understand the nature of hazardous child labor and take action to raise farmers' awareness of the risk of engaging children in certain agricultural activities. The main part of the guide is for training and advising farmers. After clarifying the main concepts, situation, causes and consequences of child labor in general and especially in agriculture and forestry, the third chapter lists, for each agricultural activity, the hazardous activities that should not be performed by children, related risks and their potential impact on the health and development of the child.
