And it isn’t incentivizing parents to push their children to work at increasingly younger ages? Even at the expense of school, social life, and development? Especially the poorest families?

You are reinventing the entire problem that created child labour to begin with.

Pal, reading the entire thread will show you that I’m against child labor and cracking the joke that children should cost more to employ as a way to prevent cheap child labor.

It’s a joke. Child labor is bad. Goodnight.

Wow, it’s very obvious that you are joking.

Could you explain the joke maybe? I think you may have forgotten the part that’s supposed to make people laugh. I genuinely don’t see how what you said is supposed to be a joke.

Don’t worry though buddy. I’m sure it’s all in good fun.
