Laws restricting child labor .
The Industrial Revolution initially increased child labor, as factories employed children to work long hours under harsh conditions. However, over time, societal awareness of the negative impacts of child labor grew, leading to reforms and regulations. By the late 19th and early 20th centuries, laws were enacted in many countries to limit child labor, ultimately decreasing its prevalence. Thus, while the Industrial Revolution began with increased child labor, it eventually contributed to its decline through reform movements.
Until child labor laws were created, child labor was cheap labor and working in very bad conditions was the norm. Factory owners got cheap labor, which increased their profits considerably.
Children in child labor make billions of dollars worth of goods every year. This is the reason that child labor is used and persists.

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.

Increased family income and better educational opportunities can reduce the reliance on child labor for family income.

However, the extent of this change depends on various factors, including government policies, cultural attitudes, and international support.
