When did child labor end in the American Industrial Revolution?

Answer 1

The factory Act was passed in 1833 which made it illegal for factory owners to employ children under 9 years old, this coincided with the abolition of Slavery in the UK in 1833 - 34. During this time it was becoming more recognised that children needed to be educated mostly for the upper classes, however under The Factory Act it was made compulsory for factory owners to provide 2 hours of education daily for under 13's

Further legislation was enforced in 1844, 1847, 1850, 1853 and 1867. After 1867 factories could not employ under 8's and children between the ages of 8 and 13 were to receive at least 10 hours of education per week, this was by no means foolproof though and inspectors often found it difficult to prove the age of child and a lot of factory owners did not provide the correct hours set side for education - that's in the U.K

Answer 2

In 1938, some 50 years after most other Western nations abolished it. Earlier efforts in the US were often branded as "Communist" by employers and conservative politicians. But finally, President Franklin Roosevelt got the "Federal regulation of child labor achieved in Fair Labor Standards Act " accepted.

Answer 3

Child labor has not stopped, but child labor abuse has stopped. Child labor has been around for years, and is still commonly practiced. However, child labor abuse has been slowed down due to regulations on a minimum age (usually 14) and working limits, such as hours, hazardous occupation bans, etc.
