Despite popular belief, the problem of illegal child labor has
not been remedied. The practice persists in the United States and
even appears to be increasing. Levine, an acknowledged expert in
the field, reveals the nature and magnitude of this old problem in
today's economy. Levine explains that since 1981, there has been a
relaxation in enforcement of federal child labor law provisions. He
presents the complicated elements and troubling implications of a
problem that has come to be ignored or overlooked in American
society, focusing especially on matters of occupational health and
safety. This book is important reading for the general public, as
well as for scholars and policymakers involved with children's and
labor issues in the United States.
The United States has more of its children in the workforce than
any other developed country. They are found in textile, jewelry,
and machine shops in New York and New Jersey, in Southeast
supermarkets operating meat-cutting machines and paper-box bailers,
in Washington state selling candy door-to-door, and in farming
operations throughout the country.
