Children’s participation in agricultural sub-sectors has become hazardous work. We need nuanced, cross-sectoral interventions to prevent child labour in pastoralism.

The Indian case for child labour in pastoralism has been adequately overlooked, despite agriculture and its various branches being the largest employer of child labour.

The Centre for Pastoralism estimates that there are 35 million pastoralists across India, with most of them living in austere and inhospitable regions, ranging from the cold deserts of Ladakh to the Thar Desert and Deccan plateau. Lack of demographic indicators and socio-economic challenges of their livelihood further makes it challenging to lay out concrete estimates of the number of children in hazardous work in the sector.

However, many would argue that the need for children to work in pastoral communities is inevitable to keep the livelihood alive and does not necessarily conform to norms of child labour. The involvement of children in pastoral communities has been traditionally acceptable and ageappropriate tasks have enabled children to learn certain skills of inherent social, economic, and cultural value.
