New State Laws Are Rolling Back Regulations On Child Labor
Lawmakers in Republican-led states are proposing and passing legislation to roll back child labor regulations.
In states like Iowa, Missouri, Ohio, and Arkansas, newly passed or pending laws allow companies to hire children without work permits and allow children to work longer hours under more dangerous conditions in places like construction sites, meat packing plants, and automobile factories.
Meanwhile, the Biden administration is struggling to enforce existing federal regulations on child labor.
We discuss how child labor laws are changing from state to state.
