Backbreaking farmwork is part of life for some 400,000 to 500,000 children in the U.S. and over a hundred million children worldwide. The same poverty that drives children around the world into work also continues to push generations of American children into a similar life of hard labor. Migrant children travel with their families throughout the United States to work in agriculture. They journey from state to state, from one farm to the next, following the crop harvests. They toil, day in and day out, to help their struggling families survive.
