Sarcastically speaking, it may seem like a smart move for a third world country, but in reality, it unleashes a whole Pandora's box of exploitation.

It's called poverty. Many countries don't have the luxury of education and summer vacation for kids. In the Philippines we have kids pushing wooden carts collecting scraps when I was growing up. That's the reality rich countries never seem to grasp in their ivory tower as they lecture things like environment issues where they can live with the advances of technology but the poor they won't share it with have to burn wood to cook. But now they'll once again learn all about poverty, multi generational households, and children working because even two income households will eventually won't cut it because they won't even raise wages for "uniquely American" crap.

[@williamdavis9562]

And yes apparently India's children are so rich that they can sit in their ivory towers and judge Americans lol But to your point, you do have a very valid point. I find it ridiculous when people judge others without any sort of context as to the life those people have to live. Reminds me of that CNN reporting who was grilling an African leader about LGBTQ issues and he responded "We have people starving in this country, do you really believe LGBTQ issues should be at the top of our list." Also perhaps a bit of poverty will save America. It might force multi generational households like you said and perhaps rebuild the nuclear family unit that has been the bedrock of every successful civilization.

while child labor IS a bad thing, maintaining lower hours like 5 hours or less wouldn't be harmful. it actual does a lot of things, first and foremost it starts giving them early work experience, it gives them spending money which will help boost the economy and it's going to teach them responsibility at an earlier age while they manage spending that money. obviously you'd not allow them to have a credit card but a banking debit card would be fine since you can still buy things online with it. i've actually said they need to start bringing kids into the job market at around 14 or 15, i was mowing our 2.5 acre property and chopping wood when i was 12, i didn't have an allowance for it. it's not as bad as it sounds, though i definitely feel like there should be limitations on using certain types of equipment that is dangerous like heavy machinery and stuff, things like power tools and hand tools helps build confidence and even an assembly line job isn't that bad... lets be real, the conditions are FAR better than in most counties you'd compare it to.

No, Trump was just a wild card thrown in the cog of the US machine because Americans were frustrated by it. He was no solution to anything. He was still increasing defense spending and cutting taxes paid by the rich. At best he has loose lips and openly admits how they'll steal Syria's oil. The real frustrating thing is that people herald him like he's a savior, which only shows the Americans are actually okay just declaring who is Venezuela's president because they say so.

[@marcm9612]

Not sure that your words portrait the real picture. I'm canadian, not American but have been working since the age of 14 (it was also at a lower wage) not because I was forced but because I wanted to and my parents decided it was ok and not the government. I'm now 43 and grateful for those years. You make it sound like child slavery where they have no options

[@ireneamercado1125]

Nothing new. During 1960's, children are working ,so, when they become 18 they are capable to stand on their own feet. Like me, I grew up in the market to earn money, so much to be decent , I was trained how's life to be the future.

[@dannolan7203]

I'm from Iowa and this is a little overstated. They are changing the amount of hours from 4 per day to 6 per day, they still can't work past 9pm, that hasn't changed. They will be allowed to work 8 hrs during the summer. Many youth work in the summer because in the US schools are closedl. These changes will have little impact on most teens, the ones that want to work will work, the ones that don't won't.

[@chinmaykamalapurkar16]

CHILD LABOUR is unethical how hard is it to understand bro😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@vincentprakash5419]

So true. Some of these kids work part-time and save up for college, reducing the burden on their parents. In India, we baby our children even after they are fully grown married adults

[@ekaterinalokshina2043]

​@@chinmaykamalapurkar16 Well, in my country a child can work for 4 hours a day when they are 14 or 15, and 6 hours per day when they are 16 or 17. After 18 it is 8 hours, like adults. However, most jobs available for young teenagers are helping gardeners in publuc parks in the summer when there is no school. Basically it is safe and healthy. Noone would expect a child to work till 9 in the evening though. It would be something like 10 to 2 in the afternoon. Serving alcohol at night sounds seriously weird. I don't think that it is wrong for a child to work, on the contrary, it is an important and valuable experience However, if a child is at school for at least 6 hours, then works for 6 hours, then he has homework to complete, it starts looking rather rough

[@financialninja3180]

For sure it’s overblown. My son is 15 and will be working in the summer at a fast food restaurant with his friends. My neighbors son used to work at Walmart lifting boxes starting at 5 am. He was driving my friends $84k Mercedes’ to work a $9/hr a job. The reason I am mentioning this is because it is VERY COMMON for teenagers to start working at 14-15. They get to have real world experience, make money and have fun. In fact this should be encouraged in India. Either it is an outright exploitative condition in India or people won’t send their kids to work at all… “Wo Sharmaji ka ladka McDonald mein kaam kar raha tha! Hai Ram!!” 😝

[@dannolan7203]

@@ekaterinalokshina2043Agree or disagree, the reason for the alcohol change is if a restaurant server is under 18, they are currently not allowed at any time to bring any alcoholic drink to the table.

This is another way for parents to abuse children. Forcing them to help pay for living expenses and addictions.

[@bettytan2922]

This is not child labour these are teenagers. At this age the children are tall and well grown and full of energy. Working keep them occupy and divert their energy and not engage into something notorious. Through working they learn the value of money and will then appreciate the fruit of their labour. Another advantage of this program is it gives them work experience, which is what employers are looking for.

Sorry, but we all used to,work as children with work permits, and as far as I’m concerned it was good for us. It built character, taught responsibility, action and consequences, discipline. It was sad when it went away.

[@peterwoodham769]

This allows young kids to earn extra money if they want to unlike countries like India were they are forced. Having a choice is the difference. I worked at 13 in the fields picking potatoes, Brussels, beans and boxing plants for market. I did this after school and in holidays in like countries were kids have to do it instead of going to school.

[@Maverick_Panda]

Were they your family fields or someone else's? Working in a family business and in the business of someone else are totally different. How can can you gurantee that the litlle kids won't won't be exploited? Are they old enough to make independent decisions for themselves? In india, we have very strict laws against child labour btw.

[@Mira-pm3ni]

In India it's not forced . Here the legal age to work is above 14 . India being a third world country it's understandable but what's America's excuse ? Plus why USA is whining about child labour and slavery in China when they themselves are exploiting the same 😏

[@leelilly5700]

Making child labour legal, and allowing they been exploited cheaply, unprotected, till 9pm during school days, till 11pm during summer. This is systematic slavery of youth.

[@peterwoodham769]

@@Mira-pm3ni This is my point, it's a choice and if they feel exploited they just walk away. My response was not to defend America or offend any other country but to show the bigoted way this news is being shared.
