Child Labor
Introduction
During the Industrial Revolution child labor exploded as more factories opened up. Due to the harsh working conditions, many laws were enacted to limit the exploitation of children in the work force. Have these laws been effective or does child labor still exist today? What are the problems a child faces when they are forced to work at such a young age? What impact does working have on their education, health, family, friends? What is being done to protect child workers? Find the answer to these and many more questions by exploring this WebQuest.
