"Child Labor : Threatening children to work to earn a living.

In India, if a boy/girl wants to read and write ,which basically implies that if he/she wishes to go to a school or college,he/she cant afford because they don't even have money for their food.So how is it going to be possible for them to go to the school and obviously the great amount of money needed for registration is not affordable for them.So the only way to do this is "EARN AND LEARN".This means in the day time they can have a part-time job which is sufficient enough for their studies."

Child Labor's Decrease Over the Years In USA

[edit]

In 1916 and 1918, congress passed laws that would apply equally to all American children, however the Supreme Court declared them unconstitutional because they denied children the freedom to contract work.

During the Great Depression, child labor decreased for adults more deserately needed a job more than children. During that time, there was a high unemployment rate along with a growing need for a better-educated work force. This gradually decreased the rate in child labor.

In 1938, Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Fair Labor Standards Act, which set a minimum wage and maximum hour standards for all workers and it additionaly placed limitations on child labor (15 and under could not manufacture nor mine). The law was amended in 1949.

Even with the laws we have today, there are many illegal child labor in USA. Hine, Russell Freedman ; with photographs by Lewis (1994). Kids at work : Lewis Hine and the crusade against child labor.

The "exploitation" of child labor in the USSR.

[edit]

Proof that child labor was not paid in the USSR? Are you victims of false propaganda? Who produced the tools that the children worked with and how? Who provided the places for labor? Who taught labor?

This is a prepared labor education thanks to the initiative of the government of Soviets of Workers of the USSR at various levels (it's better to find out what the Soviet system is)! KB 1917 (talk) 20:27, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
