Despite its decline throughout the advanced industrial nations,
child labor remains one of the major social, political, and
economic concerns of modern history, as witnessed by the many
high-profile stories on child labor and sweatshops in the media
today. This work considers the issue in three parts. The first
section discusses child labor as a social and economic problem in
America from an historical and theoretical perspective. The second
part presents child labor as National Child Labor Committee
investigators found it in major American industries and
occupations, including coal mines, cotton textile mills, and
sweatshops in the early 1900s. Finally, the concluding section
integrates these findings and attempts to apply them to child labor
problems in America and the rest of the world today.
