Because we so *heavily protect* workers rights everywhere. Lmfao

And? It does bring to the question of whether or not if rights of workers should be protected by and large, which is unfortunately another *unpopular* opinion in and of itself.

Sounds to me like you're attacking the wrong end of the problem.

At a time when we all know that the 'right end' of the problem, being labor exploitation by and large, wouldn't get addressed while children are getting tapped as we did back in the first industrial revolution. This is something that burns from two ends; labor rights for all, for the children and the geriatrics.

what do u mean by children ??

Blanket wide for all minors. Example being Ryan Kaji of Ryan's world. He was already working since 2015, currently age 10.

that is a ridiculous example he plays with toys for a living that's like a 1% job, you're talking about labor. life is already hard enough children do not need to be working, just look at the suicide rates of college kids, why would you want to put that kind of stress on children ?? they would be burnt out before they're even a legal adult. this is one of worst opinions i have ever heard

OP just wants to make a factory of all childrens workers to make toys for Ryan to play with.

Because I don't think we can prevent this even in North America at all; the powers that be are incentivized to tap into child labor. It's not sweatshop, but fast food joints making burgers for the boomers at bible belt, yet it's same deal.

Well, we could prevent it as long as we don't let people like you into office who say "Child Labor should be widely allowed".

This has to be the single most stupid opinion I've ever read.

Victorian England called. They said it's a horrible idea.

Most adults are already useless and you want me to employ a toddler who can't even wipe their own ass? No thank you.

Imagine working 10 years at 2 different jobs to support yourself and a young child, putting yourself through school to obtain a better position and getting replaced by a 12 year old.

If what you mean is restrictions on how many hours worked based on age, with cameras present the entire time to check if employers aren't using kids and insanely heavy protections - yeah. If you mean "she is 11, she can work 3 hours on Saturday". Guys, this guy isn't advocating children are yearning for the mines or saying that worker protections in place are adequate. They're not. Adults are not adequately protected. Wage theft is the biggest theft in history. But if hypothetically, it was possible to truly protect employees and it literally would be 3 or 4 hours a week, sure. With cameras. And no tax breaks for employees and prison if they underpay or abuse anything relating to child labor. Are you people on purpose not seeing what OP even proposed? He isn't advocating for Victorian England, he is advocating that the kid used by his parents for Youtube has legal protection!!! Are you people incapable of any nuance? All labor is exploitative and only adults can do it? If jobs are what you seem to be they are - they're not good enough for adults and they don't have enough protections! If work is so awful teenagers have to be protected from it, what does it say about work overall?

I was pretty excited to work on a farm when I was 13.
