ABSTRACT: The 2012 statistics on child labor show that more than 62 percent of children working under hazardous conditions are found in agricultural work (de Castro, 2012). These hazardous conditions include doing tasks which are heavy , prone to accidents, and expose them to farm chemicals and other elements that can lead to health problems. An analysis of 18 case studies on children's perception of their employment showed that the persistence of child labor has both economic and sociocultural roots. Poverty and lack of oppurtunities to augment household income form a strong push for families to socialize children into farm work even at an early age, however, parents' attitude toward work was also facto i.e., working in farm will inculcate a sense of responsibility in children. The children were also generally unaware of the long -term implications of their work hazardous conditions, except for its impact on thier schooling.
