Description
Levine (industrial relations, U. of Maryland) has written a gripping study of the prevalence of child labor in the US today, its laws, risks, and the lack of enforcement of child labor laws. Describing evidence of child labor in several contexts, including sweatshops, agriculture, and industry, Levine focuses on issues that include ineffective and outdated child labor laws, health and safety risks, the role of physicians in treating children, dropout rates from school, methods for including state and federal data collection, and specific aspects of agricultural labor that lead to injury. Levine explains that since 1981, there has been a relaxation in enforcement of federal child labor law provisions in America. He presents the complicated elements and troubling implications of the problem, focusing especially on matters of occupational health and safety.
