Legitimacy is no longer an issue. Children are treated the same, whether born in wedlock or not.

ok.. the child consumer is the spoiled brat borne of a broken home.  It has disposable income that was not around 20 years ago.  and it doesn't stabilize anything.   Obviously, this question was from a teacher with an agenda.

Hence, his individual traits and aptitudes should be cultivated to the utmost insofar as they do not conflict with the general welfare. \n\nThe molding of the character of the child start at the home. Consequently, every member of the family should strive to make the home a wholesome and harmonious place as its atmosphere and conditions will greatly influence the child's development. \n\nAttachment to the home and strong family ties should be encouraged but not to the extent of making the home isolated and exclusive and unconcerned with the interests of the community and the country. \n\nThe natural right and duty of parents in the rearing of the child for civic efficiency should receive the aid and support of the government. \n\nOther institutions, like the school, the church, the guild, and the community in general, should assist the home and the State in the endeavor to prepare the child for the responsibilities of adulthood. \n\nArt. 2. Title and Scope of Code. - The Code shall be known as the "Child and Youth Welfare Code". It shall apply to persons below twenty-one years of age except those emancipated in accordance with law.

Yes it was President Clinton who abolished it in 1996. It was replaced by TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families). The programs are essentially the same, but TANF has stricter restrictions, such as a five year limit on receiving aid.

the child labor laws are really weird.  like you can pretty much start working at a family business or a farm as soon as you can walk (you can even get a drivers licence at like 12 if your parents are farmers).  generally though i think you can start working at 13 but you can't work many hours.  there's other weird jobs like a paper route you can have before then.

If you mean, "do we no longer need labor unions in the US"...Well, I'd say the moment corporations ensure a reasonable wage that keeps up with inflation, safe working conditions, a fair work week with pay for overtime, access to group rates on health insurance and retirement plans (even if employee paid), occasional time off to care for sick family members, the opportunity to go away for 6 weeks to have a baby and still come back to work, and so on--all out of the goodness of their corporate hearts--then yeah, we can do without labor unions.  \n\nAnd the weather in hell today is...?

That "law" should have been abolished decades ago.  A baby should only be a citizen if it is born of two citizens.  If our government would stop giving illegals all these incentives to come here they would stop coming.  No more birth rights, no free health care, no food stamps, no welfare, no jobs.  Without these incentives they would stop coming!

India has many laws in place to stop child labour,including some provisions within the constitution banning exploitation of children.But as with most third world countries problem is with implimentation not legislation.Most of the real work is done by NGOs(non government organizations) may be with a little support from govt.\n  As far as the laws are concerned they are vague and ambiguous for eg. one law banning employing children in hazardous jobs doesn't clarify what consitutes hazardous job,and in another case it specifies the age limit of 14yrs to be employed in some industries,but many people consider this gross violation of child rights(UN considers all below 18 yrs as children)\n\n In India most of the child labour are emploeyed in carpet making,glass making,lock making,fireworks industries

(m)\n\nChild Labor in the Global Economy\n\n\nThe main reason families send their children to work is poverty. Unfortunately, a system in which children are sent to work at a very young age and deprived of basic education will only maintain and even exacerbate the cycle of poverty that is pushing these children to work in the first place. The literature on child labor in India provides numerous examples of this cycle of poverty. There are children who are born into a state of bondage and sometimes the parents do not even know the details of the original transaction. According to many of the cases, it seems that even minimum education would prevent the poor from taken advantage of so often.\n\n\nHOW MANY CHILDREN ARE WORKING? \n\n\nThere are millions of children working all over the world. The ILO estimates that there are as many as 250 million children toiling in a wide range of work settings. 50% of these children can be found in Asia, however, the largest percentage of working children are in Africa (around one in three) while 15-20% of the children work in Latin America. The main economic sectors where child labor can be found are: \n\nAgriculture \nServices (domestics, restaurants, street vendors) \nProstitution \nSmall-scale manufacturing \nOnly 5% of child labor goes toward export oriented industries such as manufacturing and mining. Asia has the highest percentage of children who work in export industries. Of the export industries,the following list includes those industries with the highest percentage of child labor worldwide: \n\nGarments \nCarpets \nShoes \nSmall-scale Mining \nGem Polishing \nFood Processing \nLeather Tanning \nFurniture \nThere is no doubt that the problem is a serious one. Some of the products made by the hands of children are sold at the most exclusive stores in the West. The most well known products are the hand-knotted carpets, soccer balls and T-shirts found in our malls. \n\nWHY USE CHILDREN?\n\n\nMost of the countries where child labor is found do in fact have minimum age laws and primary education laws, but these laws have not been enforced. A related problem is that sometimes it is the actual law enforcement officials who benefit from the labor of children. In general poverty is usually cited as the main reason for the problem of child labor. Although, no one could dispute that poverty is a factor, it is very important to understand that depending on the country, there are some other social factors that contribute to the problem perhaps just as much as poverty does. Examples cited in the Department of Labor Report include: \n\n1. Economic self interest of the factory owners who profit from the use of such low wage workers whom they can exploit without any legal repercussions. \n\nWhy Use Child Labor? Because children are: \n\nless demanding \nmore obedient \nless likely to resist or object \neasily taken advantage of \nrequire lower pay \nnot protected by the law or its representatives\n2. Public indifference or lack of political will due to the fact that child labor is treated as a non-issue by politicians, the media and other figures or institutions who decide which issues are placed on the table for national discussion. \n\n3. Inadequate resources to support established public policy measures regarding primary education laws and policies that promote export industries regardless of their child labor practices. \n\n4. Local governmental labor inspectors lack enough authority, expertise, accountability and experience to do a good job. \n\n5. Corruption at all levels of government can be widespread, and in many cases, there are governmental officials who personally benefit from child labor. \n\n6. Some cultures of the majority or dominant groups in society do not see anything wrong with child labor which utilizes children of lower castes and classes. \n\nFrom the point of the child or the family who sends their child to work the direct cause is poverty or at least the culture of poverty an

China must stop employing children as laborers because it is child exploitation and they must be studying at schools.

Because of child labor, there was limited opportunity for education because children were expected to work.
