Guidance on addressing child labour in fisheries and aquaculture
Documents - Book
31 May 2013
About 60 per cent of all children engaged in child labour are active in the agriculture sector, including fisheries and aquaculture, forestry and livestock. In fisheries and aquaculture, children engage in all types of activities, from catching fish to repairing nets or processing fish, often in a way that is incompatible with school attendance and hazardous to their health.The present document is a response to one of the recommendations of a workshop on Child Labour in Fisheries and Aquaculture held in Rome in 2010, which requested FAO and ILO to develop guiding principles for policy makers, organizations of fishers, fish farmers, fish workers and employers, and other sectoral institutions, development practitioners, and the general public to address child labour in the fisheries and aquaculture sector.
