Child labour is a sprouting matter across the world and remains widespread problem particularly in
developing countries. This study is a comprehensive analysis of child labour in agricultural sector
based on findings of interviews conducted with 1764 child labour from 12 Unions of 3 Thanas under
Rajshahi district, Bangladesh. The present study aims to delineate this issue across different socioeconomic
conditions of the child labour. The study also reveals that sex, religion, types of livelihood,
father’s occupation and distance between the work place and home of the child laboured are most
influential factors in determining the likelihood of taking up agricultural work. Findings need to be
scientifically utilized in developing suitable programs addressing the case of reducing of child labour
particularly in agricultural sector of the developing countries as well as Bangladesh.
