Seasonal migrant agricultural work is stated as the worst form of child labor within the scope of the National Program on the Elimination of Child Labour 2017-2023, prepared by the Ministry of Labor and Social Security.<\/span><\/p>

Thousands of children of migratory agricultural worker families are migrating to various regions of Turkey between April and October for seasonal harvesting of different products. These children are working 12-15 hours a day while deprived of basic needs and can\u2019t continue their education 1\/3 of the school year, almost half of them leave school completely. With the pandemic, conditions got more difficult; with lengthening distance education and school closures, the risk of these children separating from education has increased considerably.<\/span><\/p>
