This book considers the issue in three parts. The first section discusses child labor as a social and economic problem in America from an historical and theoretical perspective. The second part presents child labor as National Child Labor Committee investigators found it in major American industries and occupations, including coal mines, cotton textile mills, and sweatshops, in the early 1900s. Finally, the concluding section integrates these findings and attempts to apply them to child labor problems in America and the rest of the world today.Issues in work and human resources.Child laborHistoryUnited StatesChild laborChild laborHistoryChild labor.331.3/1/0973Hindman Hugh D.859800MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910780231303321Child labor3784750UNINAThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
