cause according to [this article](https://www.historycrunch.com/child-labor-in-the-industrial-revolution.html#/) children as young as 4 years old used to be employed, but that just seems incredibly counter productive. most 4 year olds i know cant even tie their shoes. cause once a child can function without supervision without dying (so 9-12) i can see why from their fucked point of view they would use child labor, but i feel like the resources needed to train and keep the children alive would far outweigh the reward for basically free labor

I live in a country where labor is cheap and poor children are abudant. My family has used child labor in the past before btw. So these kids are given simple, repetitive tasks with the reward being food. If you’re starving then of course you will agree to it. A lot of these impoverished kids can’t even have access to drinking water without working.
