Child labor reforms

Child labor reforms refer to laws and initiatives aimed at protecting children from exploitation in the workforce. Historically, many children worked long hours in hazardous conditions, which harmed their health and education. Reforms have established minimum age limits for workers, mandated safe working conditions, and promoted education over labor. These changes seek to ensure that children have the right to a safe and nurturing environment, focusing on their development and well-being. Today, international organizations continue to advocate for stronger protections against child labor worldwide, particularly in developing countries where such practices still exist.
