Zusammenfassung:This chapter focuses on child labor that is directly harmful or adversely affects the psychosocial development or education of children under the age of 15. We begin with a discussion of child labor abuses in developing countries and then focus on the problem of child labor in the US. Our goals are to portray the face of the problem, not its extent, and to discuss the likely impact of child labor on children's physical and mental health, their psychosocial development, and their school performance.
