Child Labor In America, 1920

Therefore, I looked at the report of the old census and found the section titled "Harvested Children".

In 1920, it turned out that about 1 million children were working in the United States between the ages of 10 and 15 (the total population of this age group is 12 million). About half of them work on family farms. I did something else, worked in the factory, trained apprentices, and served as a messenger.

Until 1940 ordinary Americans only received education for ninth grade, but the first long-term Federal Child Labor Law was not passed through until 1938.

In American history, we encountered many problems in child labor. That is why in 1938 President Franklin Roosevelt passed the "World Book 455". The Child Labor Law does not require American children to work for a long time and has no minimum wage. Workers must be at least 16 years old before being employed, but there are still child labor problems in other developing countries. We have the Child Labor Law. Please call it "Sweaty state" (Russell Freedman 93). These children are working hard at dangerous work instead of going to school and receiving good education. Many factories and other companies hire children. Because they are less salary than adults and can escape. In addition, children are overworked and low salary, usually working 16 hours a day, 6 days a week, earning only a few cents per hour.

Child labor is not a big problem because of the efforts of the Victorian people and the new law that it produces for the children of the UK and America. For us. But child labor has not disappeared! According to a recent survey and research conducted by the International Labor Office, it is estimated that about 250 million children are working between the ages of 5 and 14. Of these children, 120 million people are working full time and are often in danger. Think slightly to think about how you can help modern worldwide child labor reform!

For North America, South America, Europe, Africa, and Asia, child labor is not surprising. Before the industrial revolution occurred, child labor was not what people noticed, but the new development of the industrial revolution will increase the demand of workers mainly because children can enter in small spaces It was. Child labor involves children under the age of 18 who work long hours in a dangerous environment
