This is a contribution from the perspective of Latin America, based upon a recently published electronic book: Juventud rural y empleo decente en América Latina. http://www.fao.org/3/a-i5570s.pdf
As the FSN Forum team states from the very beginning, there are relatively few studies and data on the 15 to 17 age group. In Latin America, it is estimated that in 2015, there were 6,3 million young rural people in this age group. In addition, 16% of the male workers in the primary agricultural sector of this age group are urban residents and 11% of the female workers. They have been included in graph 2, as many policies also (should) apply to them.
