Evolution of child labour and the early attempts of its abolition in the USA (1901-1921)‎

الملخص EN

The purpose of this article is to debate the attempts to abolish child labour in the USA in the first quarter of the 20th century.

The research methodology in this article is based on comparing and contrasting the legislation passed at the State or Federal levels to abolish child labour during the period between 1901 and 1921 known as the Progressive Era.

Their failing attempts were not in vain since they provided the basis for future legislation to abolish child labour.
