While there have been a number of studies done on child labor in agriculture, several issues remain inadequately investigated.  These issues include the influencing factors on the decision of children to work, whether or not child labor in agriculture threatens adult employment, or if child labor is used as substitute to adult labor.

This study empirically looks into the factors that lead children to work, their working conditions, and the implications of child labor in the agriculture industry.  Thus, the information generated can be utilized for the formulation of interventions, where necessary, on the problem of child labor in agriculture.
