I am thinking the same. I would rather have my 15-16 year old working on 6 hour hard labor job learning real life skills than playing video games or their IPad. So this is not a simple thing and we need to look at the nuances and details. This article is very low quality without any specifics. I personally think that we have gone in the other direction too much where our kids are overprotected from real life skills and are shielded too much until they are in early 20s and then they struggle big time. I know at least 2 20+ year olds who are very lost and have never worked a real job in their life. Personally as a parent, I have no issues getting my kids getting a tough shit job in a McDonalds for a 5-6 hour shift. Does that count as Child Labor ?
