Children's work is a controversial subject both in the sciences of
sociology and history. It does not accord well with the modern idea
of a good childhood -- that children actually work. Children ought
to spend their time playing and attending school. The historians'
interest has focused on industrial child labour -- its emergence
and its disappearance. But relatively few children worked in
industry. Far more children were employed in agriculture and retail
trade, if they did not help at home or at the neighbour's.
Sometimes they received pay -- other times not -- and they often
worked on the edge of the law. The articles in this book examine
children's work from the mid-1800's and until the 1990's, because
children's work is not a closed chapter in history. But the
character and social function of the children's work have been
changed over time. This anthology is the result of an inter-Nordic
research project about children's work in the Nordic countries
involving all the five Nordic countries.
