Child labor is bad because the brain is uniquely plastic during that time and can learn much more easily. It is time best spent in school learning more valuable skills.

What school are you talking about? What would the children eat if they have to go to the imaginary school?
You are completely in conflict with the basic rules of economics.
The issue is that you cannot imagine an economic system outside of the one that has existed in America for just forty years.
The idea of having domestic producers, a national identity, small communities, and cultural preservation does not compute with your vocabulary.
All you see is an economic union of individuals looking to get ahead. The problem is once this economic union faces social pressure it will fall apart.
Take a look at Chinese restaurants everywhere. They all employ their kids. Kids get to see their family business run, the ins and outs, promotes them being an entrepreneur later.
Guess what, same ****ing thing happened to me. I was employed on our family construction business, led me to be very entrepreneurial. And oh ya I’ve got a masters so I didn’t skimp on the indoctrination route either.
I remember going to this one Chinese restaurant and the kid was probably younger then 12 taking orders and running the cash register. A cook yelled at him and he was crying i felt so bad for the kid.
That’s all fine and dandy and certainly feel good except for the said children must now sell themselves into prostitution, eat off garbage dump or die. The idea that those children have better alternatives is not only condescending, but also completely out of the touch with the real world.
The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
Where (what part of the world) are you talking about?
I am confused. Are you really saying a childhood spent in labor is preferable to a childhood spent in education? What is your topic really about?

I've actually talked with quite a few people from poor nations who say sweat shops are far preferred to other available options. After Burma had a bunch of sweat shop factories shut down due to sanctions thousands of women became prostitutes shipped around the world like cattle.

Who cares? At least America doesn't have to buy crap made from sweatshops, and we can show them how virtuous we are.
Every vote for a Democrat is a vote for globalism, which supports sweatshops and child labor. As usual, Democrats are on the wrong side of human decency.
What is the alternative? The GOP are just controlled opposition.
Child labour is damaging to a child’s physical, social, mental, psychological and spiritual development because it is work performed at too early an age. Child labour deprives children of their childhood and their dignity. They are deprived of an education and may be separated from their families.
So is starvation, malnutrition and homelessness. Bad as child labor is, these jobs offer an opportunity for survival in some nations. As those nations grow and the families have other options, these practices will go away, just as they did here a century plus ago.
