Publisher's Synopsis

""The Solution Of The Child Labor Problem"" is a book written by American economist and socialist Scott Nearing. First published in 1912, the book is a comprehensive analysis of the child labor problem in the United States at the time. Nearing examines the causes and consequences of child labor, the economic and social factors that perpetuate it, and the political and legal mechanisms that can be used to combat it. He argues that child labor is not only morally reprehensible, but also economically inefficient and socially harmful. Nearing proposes a range of solutions to the problem, including education and vocational training, labor laws and regulations, and collective bargaining. The book is an important historical document that sheds light on one of the most pressing social issues of the early 20th century, and continues to be relevant today as child labor remains a problem in many parts of the world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
