Child labor in agriculture

Child labor in agriculture involves children working in farming activities, often in hazardous conditions, which can impede their education and development. This practice is prevalent in many parts of the world, particularly in developing countries, where families depend on the extra labor for survival. Children perform tasks such as planting, harvesting, and caring for livestock, often for long hours. This labor can expose them to physical harm, exploitation, and denial of basic rights, highlighting the need for enforcement of laws against child labor and support for families to provide safe, healthy environments for children to grow and learn.
