Children in child labor make billions of dollars worth of goods every year. This is the reason that child labor is used and persists. The only effective way to eliminate the use of child labor is to make it uneconomical. The most effective way to accomplish this is to not buy the products of child labor. Simply stated, boycot the manufacturer. Not just the products made by the labor of children, but all products of that manufacturer and all the products and services of affiliated companies.

The Fair Labor Act was passed in the late 1930's, but efforts to end child labor were most aggressive in the early 1900's. The great depression was instrumental in ending child labor, only because adults were competing against children for jobs as unskilled laborers.
