Stephen Moore, visiting fellow at the Heritage Foundation, speaks during a Bloomberg Television interview in Washington on May 2.
The figures on child labor are notoriously unreliable. Census data, from which historians’ estimates are derived, are best understood as a minimum and show that child labor peaked between 1890 and 1910 with at least 18 percent of all children between 10 and 15 years old in gainful employment. By the 1930s, this figure had dropped to about 5 percent.
In addition, courts decided that contributory negligence in workers’ compensation cases could not apply to children. In practice this meant that when a child was injured at work, employers could not avoid paying damages by blaming the accident on the child, which indirectly raised the cost of child labor.
Put these factors together, and it becomes clear that governmental action of every sort and at every level was instrumental in the drop-off in child labor. But the history of child labor reveals that it is more likely that earlier government actions that increased the cost of child labor, reduced the number of working children and improved education led to an increase in adult wages.
Child labor was also linked to poor public health. Children faced higher rates of accidents than adults in industrial jobs. Child laborers were also shorter and weighed less than their peers who did not work, both signs of poverty. At best, child labor was a symptom of poverty; at worst, it was a cause.
I don't think there is anything wrong with 12-year-olds picking berries. They not only get to earn some pocket money, but it teaches them a good work ethic, and as a bonus a good picker learns to use both hands. Which is handy for a lot of things.
I think child labor isn't myths , because any push and ressurect from environment

Venezuela, from a child's perspectiveIn the whole of March, children in Venezuela went to school fewer than 10 days. Blackouts left 70% of the country without electricity, affecting at least 15 of the country's 23 states and forcing the government to close schools and work. Socialism works beep boop. I wonder if years of sanctions,covert ops, psy ops had anything to do with it!! Oh Well. Not our problem! They are an oil rich country so there is no excuse for this other than pure greed! This is a great example how SOCIALISM DOES NOT WORK!
