Child Labour Laws

I would contribute an expansion on the topic, it only has about 4 headings and some don't contain much information. The most information under a heading is under the history section of the wikipedia page. Under the Global Organizations Promoting Change section, there is call for the neutrality of the section so I would also take a look at that and try to make the article less bias.

Current- Child labour laws are statutes regulating the work of minors. They are designed to prevent children from work that interferes with the children's ability to attend regular school or that is mentally, physically, socially or morally dangerous and harmful. Child labour helped fuel the Industrial Revolution by being able to access smaller work areas and cheaper labor. Prussia was the first country to enact laws restricting children from working in factories. After Prussia enacted its first laws, other countries followed such as France, England and the United States. The International Labour Organization, ILO, works to set global minimum standards of labour.

Revised- Child labour laws are statutes placing restrictions and regulations on the work of minors. The first child labour law to be passed was in 1836 in the state of Massachusetts. This law compels all children under that age of 15 working to require at least 3 months of schooling a year. These laws were created to restrain children from harmful or dangerous workplaces and to ensure the amount of education children receive. The Industrial Revolution generated the rise of Child Labour Laws. Child labour increased during the Industrial Revolution due to the children's abilities to access smaller spaces and the ability to pay children less wages. Prussia was the first country to enact laws restricting children from working in factories. After Prussia enacted its first laws, other countries followed such as France, England and the United States. The International Labour Organization, ILO, works to set global minimum standards of labour.

Minimum Standard Regulations-

The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) is a United States law that sets a right to minimum wage, age requirement, available hours, and safety regulations for minors covered by the statue. The requirements vary based on the occupation and age of the minor. Not all jobs require the same age minimum. FLSA has established guidelines and prohibitions in order to ensure the safety of minors in the workplace.
