Is this a joke or is it actually industry financed? This article doesn't mention that and neither does the freely accesible part of the original study (though I don't have full access).

Where is it written that it is financed by industry? That's not in the article or in the part of the original study I can access.

Ai pikachu looks offended, but it's lacking the surprise in its expression

It's important to remember that there's kids working to earn some extra cash for themselves (what I did as a teen and it sounds like you did, too) and there's kids from families that aren't well off where they have to work to support their struggling families. It is exploitation of the latter that we should be worried and upset about. Most people are fine with kids working a couple hours a week, but they shouldn't be forced (by the system) to work daily so they have a chance of getting enough food on the table.

Oh, and btw, the working a couple hours a week thing is perfectly normal for kids in many European countries, too. I worked during holidays starting when I was 14 in Germany but IIRC only once you're 16 you can actually do many hours

Ok, ich brauch unbedingt den Link, mir egal ob's am Ende Malware ist

Totally not a sacrifice at all, lmao.
