  1. 143 skeletons from three Dutch communities, 1650-1850. The worst spinal wear wasn’t in the factory town. It was in the dairy village, where children hauled cheese moulds from age nine. #bioarchaeology #paleopathology #childlabor anthropology.net/p/rural-child

  2. It's a complex problem. No chocolate for me. It's a drip of water on a glowing plate, but I do not support companies making billions over the back of kids and child labor.

    Support for the Child Labor Amendment, which applied restrictions to #ChildLabor in the U.S., was evident in a nationwide #GallupPoll in 1936.

    #Democrats were in favor by a wide margin, while #Republicans (despite having introduced it) were more opposed. Young voters were widely in favor over their elders.

    Some measures of the still-unadopted amendment were addressed in the Fair Labor Standards Act, or #FLSA, which passed into law in 1938.
