Advocate urges starting job habits earlier in youth
An editorial cites psychologists who compare child labor laws to evolving social conditions and urge allowing older children to work earlier. A Michigan study of 500 boys under 14 shows many work outside family jobs, starting at age 9 or 10 with weekly wages from 1.40 to 13.50, challenging classic protections and suggesting early job training may aid development.
