The history of child labour in America is long and, in some cases, unsavoury. It dates back to the founding of the United States. Traditionally, most children, except for the privileged few, had always worked -- either for their parents or for an outside employer. Through the years, child labour practices have changed -- and so have the benefits and risks associated with employment of children. In some respects, altered workplace technology has served to make work easier and less hazardous. At the same time, some processes and equipment have rendered the workplace more dangerous -- especially for the very young. Child labour first became a federal legislative issue at least as far back as 1906 with the introduction of the Beveridge proposal for regulation of the types of work in which children might be engaged. Although the 1906 legislation was not adopted, it led to extended study of the conditions under which children were employed or allowed to work and to a series of legislative proposals -- some approved, others defeated or overturned by the courts -- culminating in the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) of 1938. The latter statute, amended periodically, remains the primary federal law dealing with the employment of children. Although providing a framework for regulation of child labour (and, in some cases, forbidding it entirely), the FLSA is not comprehensive, nor does it deal with all employment of children in precisely the same way. Generally speaking, work by young persons (under 18 years of age) in mines and factories is not allowed. What other types of work may be suitable (or especially hazardous) for persons under 18 years of age has been left to the discretion of the Secretary of Labour. Some types of work -- for example, some newspaper sales and delivery, theatrical (and related) employment -- fall beyond the scope of FLSA child labour requirements. Finally, a distinction has been made between employment in non-agricultural fields and in agriculture -- and, in the latter case, between work for a parent or guardian in an agricultural setting and commercial employment. This book sketches the early history of child labour regulation and reviews certain recent federal initiatives in that area and discusses child labour legislation.

Excerpt from The Historical Development of Child-Labor Legislation in the United States: A Dissertation Submitted to the Catholic University of America in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The object of this study is to furnish a brief account for general reference purposes of the development of measures for the protection of children against the effects of premature and excessive employment. The most important items covered can be included under two main heads: Direct regulation and indirect regulation. Direct regulation is effected through legislation in specified employments relative to: Minimum age; minimum educational requirements for work permits; minimum physical requirements for work permits; maximum hours of labor; night work; issuance of work permits; health provisions, and inspection. Indirect regulation is effected through legislation relative to: Compulsory school attendance - provisions for both the school age and the length of term, and continuation and evening schools - school age and length of term being the two points to be considered here, likewise. The effect of indirect legislation is no less definite than that of direct legislation. Rather, it is recognized that the enforcement of the child-labor law is practically impossible without the assistance of a school attendance law which keeps the child in school during the time when he is not legally permitted to work. The continuation school laws, most of which have been enacted within the past two years, are particularly important for they follow the child into industry, keep him under the supervision of the school, and give him an opportunity to supplement his education. In presenting the provisions of the laws, certain difficulties were encountered. It was not always possible to retain the cumbersome wording of the statute and still be brief. For this reason, "factories" and "stores" are frequently used instead of "manufacturing, mechanical, and mercantile establishments." In a study made by William F. Ogburn of the statistical measurements of child-labor laws between the years 1879 and 1910, an index is given in the form of an appendix showing the location of the child-labor laws of each State from the first years of such legislative action to 1909 inclusive. The laws were located by means of the indices in the statute books. This necessitated looking through from 800 to 1,000 volumes. The methods of indexing in the different States were so varied that it was impossible to rely on finding all the child-labor laws indexed under "child labor." Hence from 10 to 16 index words were used in searching for these laws. The results were checked by the comparative summaries of legislation published each year by the New York State Library, and by the various issues of labor laws published by the United States Government. These facts establish the reliability of the data used as the basis for the study and digest of the child-labor laws up to the year 1910. From 1910 on, the laws were taken direct from the statute books and the results checked by the publications of the American Association for Labor Legislation and the United States Government. In general, the term "child-labor law" concerns the employment of persons under the age of 21, but the meaning varies according to the specific definition ineach State law. In like manner, "minor" means in general any person under 21, but may be specifically defined in a statute as covering a lesser age. Frequently, throughout this study, reference has been made to the "Federal Rules and Regulations." These are to be found in the Appendix. No penalty provisions have been included in the study. Aside from the historical development of the legislative action in each State, a series of charts are presented with a view to correlating the results to some degree.

Excerpt from Child Labor Legislation in the United States, Vol. 1: Analytical Tables Under laws establishing minimum ages, therefore, are included all laws - with certain exceptions mentioned later - which prohibit in particular occupations the employment Of minors, whether or not the exact age is specified. Laws prohibiting the employment of females in certain occupations are also included because they apply to girls and are of the same character as other laws which apply to both women and children or only to minors. Under the common law persons Of either sex are minors until they become 21 years Of age. This is the age at which both sexes attain their majority in 32 out Of the 53 political divisions Of which the United States is composed, and in 10 Of these 32 divisions this common law age has been confirmed by statute. In the remaining 21 political divisions, however, the common law has been superseded by legisla tion leaving 21 years as the age of majority for males but providing that 18 years shall be the age for females. The age of majority is. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
