'''Background

The British Parliament passed the Factory Act 1833 which stated that children under the age of 9 could not work, children aged 9-13 could only work 8 hours a day, and children aged 14-18 could only work for 12 hours a day.

Child Labor in the United States

In the United States, the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 (FLSA) restricts the employment of children. The FLSA defines the minimum age for employment to 14 years for non-agricultural jobs with restrictions on hours, restricts the hours for youth under the age of 16, and prohibits the employment of a child under the age of 18 in an occupation deemed hazardous by the Secretary of Labor.
