FAO Advisory Committee on Fisheries Research Joint Working Party on Poverty in Small-Scale Fisheries's Books

Fisheries and aquaculture are a significant source of livelihoods and contribute to the food security of hundreds of millions of people. Notwithstanding, small-scale fishers, fish famers, boat crew members, fish-processors, fish traders and fish processing workers often face serious labour related challenges which limit the poverty reduction potential of the sector. Low earnings and labour productivity in rural areas, ineffective labour regulation, low level of workers' organization with reported cases of child labour and severe cases of human rights abuses are common challenges in the sector. These challenges are often exacerbated by the informal nature of the sector (especially in small scale fishing) and by prevailing seasonality, remoteness of operations and hazardous nature of work. Based on available literature, the study explores wide-ranging decent work concerns in the fisheries and aquaculture sector with the objective to inform and guide FAO programming and collaboration with governments, civil society organizations, the private sector and other United Nations organizations in promoting decent working and living conditions along the whole seafood value chain."--Page 4 of cover.
