Selected Articles on Child Labor

By Julia Emily Johnsen

"Selected Articles on Child Labor" is a rigorous compilation of contemporary research, essays, and legal arguments concerning the state of youth employment in the early twentieth century. Curated by Julia E. Johnsen, this work provides a multifaceted look at one of the most pressing social issues of its era, capturing the debate between industrial necessity and the moral imperative of child protection. The collection brings together diverse perspectives to examine the physical, mental, and social consequences of child labor, as well as the legislative efforts designed to curb its practice.

The volume serves as a vital historical record of the labor reform movement, documenting the struggle to establish national standards and the various socioeconomic factors that contributed to the exploitation of young workers. By presenting detailed reports and scholarly articles, the work highlights the intersection of education, poverty, and industrialization. Scholars of social history, sociology, and labor law will find this collection to be an indispensable resource for understanding the evolution of child welfare and the foundational arguments that shaped modern employment regulations.
