| description |
Child labor was more prevalent in
19th-century industrializers than it is in developing
countries today. It was particularly extensive in the
earliest industrializers. This pattern may be a source of
optimism signaling the spread of technologies that have
little use for child labor and of values that endorse the
preservation and protection of childhood. Today and
historically, orphaned and fatherless children and those in
large families are most vulnerable. Efficient interventions
to curb child labor involve fiscal transfers to these
children and active policies toward street children. Changes
in capitalist labor markets (including technology), family
strategies, state policies, and cultural norms are examined
to shed light on the causes, chronology, and consequences of
child labor. |
