"There is work that profits children, and there is
work that brings profit only to employers. The object of employing children is
not to train them, but to get high profits from their work."
-- Lewis Hine
Child labor and poverty are
inevitably bound together and if you continue to use the labor of children as
the treatment for the social disease of poverty, you will have both poverty and
child labor to the end of time.
--Grace Abbott
“They began work at 5:30 and quit at 7 at night…I have
seen the hair torn out of their heads by the machinery, their scalps torn off,
and yet not a single tear was shed, while the poodle dogs were loved and
caressed and carried to the seashore.”
--Mother Jones
“Child labor perpetuates poverty, unemployment,
illiteracy, population growth, and other social problems.”
--Kailash Satyarthi
