U.S. Child Labor, 1908-1920



Uploaded by: ScrappyGater
Video Description:
A look at child labor in the early 20th century in the United States as represented through the photography of Lewis W. Hine. The film documents the use of child labor in industry, including the exploitation of children and the lower classes in American society. Many of the jobs were extremely dangerous and numerous children and adults were injured or killed in the attempt to advance in society. The viewer must understand the context of the situation at the time and think of the individuals from the perspective that it could be one of their ancestors, in order to fully grasp the emotion of the video.

THe reason child labor went away was not because of child labor laws, but because capitalism eventually improved the economy to the point that it didn't need child labor. And to the people who believe there actually helping these children, get over yourselves,If these children weren't working, they would be in streets selling themselves for sex and starving. Thats a lot worse than working.ANd today,there tryin to stop child labor in india and stifling the progress there and actualy make it worse

the economy improved to the point child labor wasn't needed. What? Please explain. Why exactly was child labor needed in the early economy and not in the later one. And the child wouldn't be selling themselves on the street, they'd be at home enjoying being a child. How pathetic you are for someone who had an easy upbringing to argue for child labor and for millions of children to go through such exploitation. You should of worked in the mines as a 10 year old.

In those days it was better to work then not to work. People lived in poverty (there was no welfare system). Our mindset today cannot comprehend nor understand what these people went thru and why they were grateful to anyone who would let them work. In those days you could buy a lot with a nickel or even a dime. So if these people got paid for so many cents per day you could live on that. Today such cents are easily tossed to the ground.

Thanks for the video Scrappy - the choice of music was also very appropriate. Child labour should never be allowed.
However I also worked when I was a kid in the late 60's and early 70's. I worked on a farm as a labourer, then as a snack vendor and then as a receptionist for a loan company. It was quite acceptable to the community and also my parents. However the work was all part time and voluntary - nobody asked me to work and I was expected to go give school first priority. Did well since.

Thanks for a good video Scrappy - the music was appropriate too.
I used to work when I was a kid in the late 60's and early 70's. I worked as a farm labourer, then sold snacks and then worked as a receptionist for a loan company and also sold illegal moonshine for a kind old lady. It was voluntary and part time and school had to get first priority - nobody told me to go work. I think it did me good. Child labour like this video shows is not acceptable.

ok I see the purpose of child labor laws. BUT My opinion on why the Economy is so bad, is people today depend on that dollar way too much and can't fend for themselves. I think Families need to be more responisble for their own wealthfare, not the dollar. I don't think children should work for money, or in factories. but they should do more "chores" and every household should have their own garden and grow their own food, and the kids help pick the food. Teach the kids how to survive....

Only 36 comments in a year. I found this by finding The History Place in StumbleUpon, seeing all these photographs there, checking wikipedia, and clicking on one of its links.
Child labor is an evil that still lives. I believe this world spends too much time over-entertaining some children while over-working others. Children need to learn industry and the mental skills needed for survival, but they don't need to be "put to work" to learn this. They need to be children, above all.
