eli5: this concept about child labor

838 views

So, I’ve been watching a few videos about child labor that I need for a scholl project. This one [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUDJNwHngVI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUDJNwHngVI) caught my attention, most specifically in a part in which a solution mentioned for this issue is to “adopt institutions that support economic freedom, private property rights, and the rule of law. What does this exactly mean? And how does it help with solving child labor? Please help me, I’m so nervous, and be as detailed as possible. Thank you!

1. economic freedom – meaning that you have enough choice and jobs where the parents can make money so the children don’t have to work.
2. private property rights – this one is a big vague, but this means that people can own property and have their property rights defended by the government (instead of the government just taking their property without cause or allowing other people to).
3. rule of law – means actually having and enforcing laws that prohibit child labor.
