Child Labor

The Social Gospel

around 22,000 children die from accidents related to their work.

The children were used to remove lint from the spinning machines because they were small, but the machines weren't turned off while the children were under them, so they could make a mistake and end up dying.

One would have to, as with the antitrust laws, distinguishe between harmless or even beneficial forms of Child labor- such as farm products like Burpee seeds, sold by Bicycle Borne vendors- Newspaper vendors, some types of juvenile jobs involving candy counters or ice-cream parlors- harmless and hazardous tasks such as factories, mills, areas involving power tools, garages, and so on. I think Miss Addams would have seen certain types of juvenile jobs in fact beneficial and educational- like shop classes in the schools leading up to craftspeople. but one would have to distinguish between harmless newstands and ice cream parlors, and hazardous labor conditions- which she ardently opposed- adults as well as juveniles.

Answer------>It started in the and is still going on today in many countries. When people say child labor started at the dawn of men, they are talking about labor as in giving birth. (That's a different story because women need sperm to fertilize their egg which is in the uterus which is located above the vagina, but only idiots wouldn't know that. after the egg is fertilized then a baby starts to growand BTW only men have sperm that's why women need them.) <-------that is off topic and has nothing to do with the question

The question should be why is there child labour, as it still exists today. Some causes of child exploitation are (but not limited to) poverty, lack of education, and bottom feeding. POVERTY - Poverty is the main reason for child labour. Poor families need money to survive and thus need to have as many family members working as possible. This means that their children also have to work as they bring in an additional source of income. Also sometimes in extreme situations parents would sell their kids to rich people as domestic workers for money. LACK OF EDUCATION - The lack of education is a very big issue in developing countries. Because most of the children are uneducated, they do not know their rights or the laws that may help/benefit them. As a result they end up being abused (receive cruel and intolerable treatments) or used (underpaid, forced to work even though they are under-aged). BOTTOM FEEDING - Bottom feeding is when big corporations take advantage of the poverty stricken and make a profit for their company. In this world of consumerism, most, if not all, companies want to maximize profit and they do this by increasing sales or reducing production cost. To increase sales, one main factor that they could change is the cost, if the cost is reduced more people will be able to buy it and thus they will make more sales. But how would they reduce the cost? To reduce the cost of the good, and not reduce their profit, they would think of a way to reduce the production cost, and this is where child labour comes into play. By employing children, they could reduce production cost, as employing children would cost less than employing adults.

This is not legal advice and should not be relied upon as such. Consult the specific laws for the state and county in which you reside for the rules that apply. In most states, any 18 year old is considered an adult and is capable of deciding when and where they reside. They have the ability to contract for housing. SOME states allow minors to become emancipated under specific circumstances, but this is not just a matter of filling out some paperwork. A minor is the responsibility of their parents until such time as they reach the age of majority or are legally emancipated. The parents are required to provide for the support of their minor children. If the parents give permission, the minor can live in another location. Such permission does not relieve the parents of the responsibility to provide support. If the parents do not give permission, the minor can be considered a runaway. Charges may apply to individuals that aid and abet such runaways, particularly if they are under the age of consent. In some states it is my understanding that this is not enforced for 17 year olds that leave home. If you are subject to abuse, you should contact social services for your area. They will assist you in getting out of the bad environment and into a safe place.

Many parents were unwilling to allow their children to work in these new textile factories. To overcome this labour shortage factory owners had to find other ways of obtaining workers. One solution to the problem was to buy children from orphanages and workhouses. The children became known as pauper apprentices. This involved the children signing contracts that virtually made them the property of the factory owner.

Child labor is a much more difficult situation than we think in our western culture. On one hand, we condemn it socially, on the other hand we promote it with our incessant commercialism. It is quite the paradox. There are other cultures in the world, primarily third world countries which accept this as the people are so poor, children need to work to help support their families. Stopping this practice may do more harm than good for these poor families unfortunately. If we do wish to stop this practice, the only way to truly stop this is stop buying stuff which is made by child labor, but that is hard to do, as we have to investigate every product and determine from where and from whom it is manufactured. This is no easy task but there are organizations who do watchdog this practice, but even they can't determine every company and it's labor practices. Another thing we could do is to push for better conditions in poor countries for workers and better wages, so that their children don't have to work! I wrote more on this topic at the related links I have added. Peace and god bless my friends and Happy New Year!

Early child labor laws were unsuccessful because it did not stop the employer from hiring children. The laws only required that the employer give the children some type of schooling.

Pros.

child labor is good if you are willing to put that job on your resume and getting paid and it also shows how to do certain things and it gives you independence .

Cons.

child labor is a negative thing to be doing because there are many problems with child labor may of which we touched on previously through out the years. the employment of child laborers is negative in many cases also very dangerous. many children are forced to do unnecessary jobs such as assembling boxes , polishing shoes , stocking stores shelves or cleaning. employing children below the age of 14yrs old is a crime with a fine. employing children is considered as a sin

Although there are many similarities between child labor and chores because it technically is but it is not considered the bad kind since it is usually by parent or guardian it is also beneficial to the child teaching them about maintenance of the home and pitching in for there family.

It would be hard to produce girls if boys didn't exist...it kinda takes two!

He supported it with the fact that he said it was healthy for the children to be working and getting exercise from these jobs that they had. He used this as a way to try to logically persuade the parents of the children that working in the factories and mills was good for them and even though he was a doctor, he made a very uneducated assumption here.

Booty Juice (Mcbooty Juice) is a refreshment manufactured by Mcbooty Juice Inc. Booty Juice is sold throughout the United States and North Western Zimbabwe, but as a result of high prices and taxes in Zimbabwe the Zimbabweans raided the Booty Juice factories. While they pilaged the factories the Zimbabweans anally raped many workers including the man who is writing this (me). As a first hand witness i can claim that they did many things words cannot describe just unimaginable words. For this reason all buildings associated Booty Juice have a silent alarm used in the case that a African booty scratcher has entered and the building goes into lockdown until the booty sractcher is tamed, usually Mark the booty tamer is contacted. Available at 1800-Mcbooty. But if an army of heavilly armed Irish, Asian, or Mexican Booty scratchers invade theInternational Booty Protection Agency (IBPA) is called in and will take all booty scratchers hostage and then will be double penetrated by the infamous SBA's or Secret Booty Agents lead by General Maximilian the great. After the penetration they are all gathered and shot in the Great Hall of Booties.

A mature person realizes physical looks aren't permanent--everyone develops wrinkles, everyone has cellulite and gains or loses weight. A person loves someone for who they are overall, their character first and foremost. So if it becomes a relationship conditional, "I'll will only continue to love you if you're wealthy/athletic/beautiful/educated," it's someone who puts their own ideas of what they should have first. This doesn't mean a partner shouldn't be concerned over a health issue--heavy drinking, drug use, gaining a large amount of weight as to where it can affect their physical health. It means the persons encourages the other person to live a healthy lifestyle, both should attempt to work out and eat healthier and not criticizing and saying someone looks fat, someone isn't as sexy as they previously were. Many women do gain some weight or at the least have stretch marks--this is normal after a pregnancy and the husband should educate himself as to this. I think it really depends on the woman. For instance, if you don't care about the stretch marks (and allow them to proliferate across your once smooth stomach during pregnancy) and you are so enraptured with your newborn(s) that you don't care about the rolls you developed and allow the sagging skin to remain untouched, then it's pretty obvious that your husband will probably not be pleased. Remember, men are visually stimulated. If he valued your physical beauty beforehand, and your body changes so that you are no longer as beautiful physically, then it follows that your value has decreased (in that area - your value may have increased in other areas to offset this). Another thing to consider is your energy level. If after having a baby you are no longer as energetic as he is, you may again lose value in his eyes in this area. I don't really know if this is an effect of the body's change after childbirth or the woman's exhaustion from the baby's constant need to be cared for. Keep in mind that your physical beauty and appreciation will eventually decline over the years (as nature takes its toll) and that childbirth is part of that process. A good husband will realize this and come to accept that his wife will not always be able to maintain the level of physical beauty that once attracted him so.
