Compendium of good practices on addressing child labour in agriculture

This compendium of good practices is based on the analysis undertaken during the implementation of the “Cooperation to Address the Worst Forms of Child Labour in Agriculture” (2009-2013) project of the International Labour Organization, within the framework of the International programme to eliminate child labour (IPEC) and with financial support of the United Stated Department of Labour (USDOL).

These good practices show some examples of how to adress child labour in agriculture from different angles, through income generating activities to labour saving technologies, social dialogue, and occupational safety and health.

Preventing and eliminating child labour requires a multi-sectoral approach: therefore readers will find data on agriculture, employment, and relevant legislations for each country analyzed. The compedium also includes specific country-profiles on child labour in agriculture, providing child labour data and list of hazards as a general background of good practices. These good practices may be adapted, replicated and possibly scaled-up in other countries in order to prevent, reduce and eventually eliminate child labour.
