They worked hard, and did not have food to eat, or clothes, nor shelter. ]]> 2019-04-02 15:20:51 UTC https://padlet.com/1042686/3p0ilv6g3ofx/wish/347678772 1042686 https://padlet.com/1042686/3p0ilv6g3ofx/wish/347679587 Many of the children that actually did child labor, did go to work because their parents were poor, so they could supplement the income for the house. They also worked, because their parents didn't have enough money for the child's education. Their generation of family was already known for working child labor. ]]> 2019-04-02 15:22:12 UTC https://padlet.com/1042686/3p0ilv6g3ofx/wish/347679587 1042686 https://padlet.com/1042686/3p0ilv6g3ofx/wish/347680140 They wanted little children to work because they had nimble fingers, and could work certain systems, better than older people could. Hiring these kids was very easy, because they were cheap, and obedient. There were also no laws which stated that they couldn't work at a young age. ]]> 2019-04-02 15:23:05 UTC https://padlet.com/1042686/3p0ilv6g3ofx/wish/347680140 1042686 https://padlet.com/1042686/3p0ilv6g3ofx/wish/347680782 The U.S. Congress passed two laws, in 1918 and 1922. In 1924, Congress proposed a constitutional amendment prohibiting child labor. It fixed minimum ages of 16 for work during school hours, 14 for certain jobs after school, and 18 for dangerous work.]]> 2019-04-02 15:24:06 UTC https://padlet.com/1042686/3p0ilv6g3ofx/wish/347680782 1042686 https://padlet.com/1042686/3p0ilv6g3ofx/wish/347681323 The first law that was passed, was the constitutional amendment. Then, in 1938, Congress passed the Fair Labor Standards Act. This made young kids not have to work, at such a young age, and makes it so that dangerous work is restricted to all the way up to 18 years old. ]]> 2019-04-02 15:24:35 UTC https://padlet.com/1042686/3p0ilv6g3ofx/wish/347681323 1042686 https://padlet.com/1042686/3p0ilv6g3ofx/wish/347702406 2019-04-02 16:02:01 UTC https://padlet.com/1042686/3p0ilv6g3ofx/wish/347702406 1042686 https://padlet.com/1042686/3p0ilv6g3ofx/wish/347703260 2019-04-02 16:03:47 UTC https://padlet.com/1042686/3p0ilv6g3ofx/wish/347703260 1042686 https://padlet.com/1042686/3p0ilv6g3ofx/wish/347704109 2019-04-02 16:05:36 UTC https://padlet.com/1042686/3p0ilv6g3ofx/wish/347704109 1042686 https://padlet.com/1042686/3p0ilv6g3ofx/wish/347705567 2019-04-02 16:08:37 UTC https://padlet.com/1042686/3p0ilv6g3ofx/wish/347705567 1042686 https://padlet.com/1042686/3p0ilv6g3ofx/wish/347706392 2019-04-02 16:10:18 UTC https://padlet.com/1042686/3p0ilv6g3ofx/wish/347706392
