Newspaper / Magazine Distribution Texas age of majority: 18 Good luck !!

I believe 14 years is under the legal working age. Even at 15 you still need a working permit issued by the state. If you are trying to occupy your child or build their working experience, I would recommend a volunteer job...which most likely will be pro-bono. There are many volunteer organizations throughout Philly, I would check any of the FREE Library locations. They are extremely helpful. If your 14 year old is EXTREMELY hard working and wants to make money now, I would then recommend applying at a mom & pop grocery or restaurant for cleaning work. Supply some written references from family, community members, church offiliates or prior jobs. Come prepared, organized and eager to work. When I was 14 I was babysitting...It pays great and there is a HUGE demand right now. Post an add on Craigslist or around your neighborhood and be responsible. Good Luck

1. How much would the child make per week on average?

2. What are some jobs that children had to work on?

3. On average, how many children were working during the Industrial Revolution?

In 1938, Congress passed the Fair Labor Standards Act. It fixed minimum ages of 16 for work during school hours, 14 for certain jobs after school, and 18 for dangerous work. Many actions taken by individual states led up to this act and it took several efforts in the preceding years for Congress to agree on this final act. For more information on the history leading up to getting a Federal law in enacted, see the links below.

Children were seen as an asset to the work force, and workers of the family.

•Economic historians argue it was the rise in the standard of living that accompanied the Industrial Revolution that allowed parents to keep their children home. Although mandatory schooling laws did not play a role because they were so late, other scholars argue that families started showing an interest in education and began sending their children to school voluntarily.

•Social historians believe it was the rise of the domestic ideology of the father as breadwinner and the mother as housewife, that was imbedded in the upper and middle classes and spread to the working-class.

•Finally, others claim that it was the advances in technology and the new heavier and more complicated machinery, which required the strength of skilled adult males.

Yes, Walmart does use child labour. Early last December, CBC news found proof that they were using child labour. Children were working in two factories in Bangladesh where they received less than $50 a month.

Children in the cotton mills spun sheeps wool into cotton. Usually children in the factory go sore, bloody hads because the wool iritated thir skin.

Children were injured, exposed to extremely unhealthy conditions, and were not educated.

America never stopped child labor, it is still going on to this day.

I would say part time, school is more important than work. In this case however.

So children would not have to be like adults. (work) For so little. :(

Metal is shapped in a blacksmith shop by heating the metal to the point it becomes plastic. The hot metal is then shaped by using different parts of the anvil and striking it with a hammer.

Child labor was eliminated by capitalism: the productivity of parents in free markets rose to the point that it was no longer necessary.

US companies do not use child labor illegally. Family businesses use their children legally.

What party was actually three separate political organizations that called for women's suffrage and the end of child labor?

Cotton mills make cotton thread.

Textile factories turn any thread into cloth.
