Won repealing child-labor laws cause a reappearence of child sweatshops and forced labor?
Laws are now in place which protect all workers from the inhumane and dangerous conditions that existed in the sweatshops and factories of the past. If those laws were made to apply equally to all ages, they should serve to protect children as well. Naturally, informed consent to work actitivity on the part of the youth would be required, as it is for adults, and any parent forcing their child to work should have appropriate legal action taken against them.
