But the agricultural sector is a lone exception. On farms, children as young as 12 can legally work with parental approval. And many younger children can be found in the fields, working illegally. Nobody knows the true number of children at work in the fields, but farmers reported hiring over 200,000 children under 18 in one year alone. Fault Lines travels to the onion fields of Texas and the tobacco fields of Kentucky, to investigate how child labour affects migrant families, and who benefits from their work.
