While child labor is viewed negatively, apparently child labor and child slavery aren’t the same thing, and child labor though it could still be exploitative/cruel in other ways, can be done voluntarily by the child.
I suppose you could make the argument that any child labor opens itself up to problems, but could it be done responsibly, and if not at what age do we draw the line of labor being not ok regardless of consent?
Children should be children. They shouldn’t need to earn an income. Education and fun should be a priority. Have the rest of their lives to be miserable
Being imprisoned in school in name of education is already miserable though
Are you a child ?
Why, am I being too controversial? I don’t believe the only possible alternative to child labor is schooling and definitely not in the way it is done today.
So you are a child. Good to know. You haven’t experienced decades of adult life. Impossible to compare. Your opinion matters but so does others that have decades of research. Schooling is likely the best it’s been in thousands of years. Do you get beaten ?
