Labor Reforms: Child Labor Laws

Labor reforms emerged in response to unsafe working conditions and the exploitation of workers, particularly children. Activists pushed for laws to protect workers' rights, leading to the establishment of child labor laws that limited the hours children could work and set minimum age requirements.

These reforms aimed to ensure that children could attend school and enjoy a healthy childhood rather than being forced into hazardous jobs. The efforts of reformers have made workplaces safer and more humane.
