Why is child labor allowed on farms in the US?

Money is why it is legal, I mean what kind of man and woman could look at themselves in the face knowing they have destroyed their child’s lives?

How could a parent put a young teen in those conditions at all let alone for that long every day?

Like I am five and have an extra chromosome please.

I mean a real ****ing piece of **** right?

The Austrians make a good case for this.

1. Who are YOU to decide that they shouldn’t? Is it better for the child not to work if it means no food on the table? Not everyone makes enough money to be able to afford the children not working. Is it better to have children starve? For a family to lose their children because they can’t provide?

2. They are learning a trade that can better the child and the country.

3. You cannot know the needs and wants of the individual. Every family and individual is in a unique situation that cannot be judged based on a lack of information. By preventing the child from working, it is likely to cause more harm to that child and family than good.

Of course, that’s the entire problem with socialism. An arbitrary regulation, law, or control without knowing and understanding each individual.

Yeah it’s bullchit
Labor laws for kids should be the same across industries

Growing up on a farm was great but it was a family side project with my mom and me and my sister so just cleaning chicken coop, selling eggs, selling pumpkins, raising rabbits/quail, stuff like that. That kind of an experience is great, but having 12 year olds pulling long shifts wageslaving in a monstrous field and a massive operation with never ending work is pretty fuked. Especially cuz probably forced into doing it.

If a child is required to do that for survival the parents have not met the standard for minimal care and the child should be removed from the dangerous house. The child is not the answer.

Austrians don’t let kids work until 15


Us labor laws have exemption for farm work for 12 year olds, let 16 year olds operate heavy machinery and go on roofs with no safety required.

All child labor laws are relatively recent.

Austrian economists who analyzed this subject. Should have specified.

In recent years it hasn’t been as much of an issue, but according to you, poor people shouldn’t have kids at all. Erm, that’s getting pretty close to being a dangerous ideology, like eugenics.

You’re making the assumption that work messes kids up. What evidence do you have to support this?

What are you on about? I’ve worked in kitchens since I was 15, I’m fine with kids working, I don’t think we should have 10 year olds working in fields cuz no ID is required for 12 year olds to work in certain states. As long as dad signed off it’s ok.

They just need to bring things in line with current child labor laws, if you want to make an argument for lowering it that’s fine, but I think current welfare program could instead change to incentivizing and rewarding good grades and school attendance with stricter expectations at school for kids under 14 and let family’s that can’t raise productive children fend for themselves then crackdown on crime and yes society would be much better.

My apologies. I thought I was replying to Ironmanlet and addressing several points.

I am def not for more regulations/socialist policies. It’s a recipe for disaster.

I think changing what’s currently a purely socialist system that even rewards family splitting up into one that’s merit based and rewards positive family behavior only is at least a step in the right direction.

Going full cold turkey could overwhelm law enforcement imo

I’m not talking about chores Neanderthal.


I am talking about 15 year olds working 16 hours a day, every day, in dangerous conditions with zero legal protection afforded to conventional employees.

I'm PRO child labor, in many cases its the best option for the child and family. …IMO child labor laws are to force poor kids into worthless schools for indoctrination.

Kids gonna learn a lot more in the actual workforce that matters then they will in todays ****ty schools.

Child Labor is a good thing

How often do you think this happens in the US? Give me a statistic or a number indicating its severity. What are their outcomes? What are their alternatives?
