Child Labor Drops

"Child Labor Drops" examines the significant decline in youth employment during the Great Depression, positing that evolving labor laws, often overlooked, substantially shaped young people's lives. This book explores the intersection of political actions, economic hardships, and societal shifts that redefined the role of youth in the American workforce. For instance, while child labor was once common, the economic crisis intensified scrutiny, leading to reforms.

The book analyzes the history by detailing pre-1930s attitudes towards child labor, the impact of the Great Depression, and the legislative landscape, including the New Deal policies. Drawing on government statistics, legislative records, and personal accounts, the book provides a comprehensive view of the era. It challenges conventional narratives by arguing that labor laws, sometimes with unintended consequences, played a critical role in reducing youth employment.
