Child Labor Laws in the USA

Introduction:

Legislation to combat child labor, even if it is possible to impose it, is not the only way (or even better) to address this issue. And it has to be accompanied by child labor legislation with specific social and economic incentives (such as education), along with equitable economic growth. At September 30, 1990, the first World Summit for Children pledged to reduce child mortality and malnutrition. A specific objectives to be achieved by 2000.

Although no clear goals on child labor is created, basic education for all children complete primary objectives of education including at least 80 percent of children. Achieving these objectives curb child labor, says Grootaert and Kanpur. A review of the evidence shows that interventions education plays a key role in reducing child labor, and should play an important role in the eventual abolition.

Conclusion:

However, there is a need for other interventions, as well as the legislative measures and policies in the labor market and fertility interventions and the adoption of technology, and better employment opportunities for parents. It has to be advocates for better conditions for working children and for children and their families. encouraging consensus emerge - both in literature and in international organizations dealing with child labor policies - and this work, to be effective, it must first be directed to the protection of children and improve their living and working conditions.

 This involves seeing less stigmatization of child labor, and recognize that child labor itself can be used as a target to help children through health, nutrition, education and other interventions. In the long term, it must be closed in order to eradicate child labor through the combined legislative procedures with the social and economic incentives that take into account not only the types of arrangements of child labor and child labor in the country, but institutional and administrative capacity in this country.
