Summary:
In this episode of [F]law School, guest Luke Hinrichs joins hosts Nolan Mascarenhas and Troy Brown to discuss his [F]law article, Economy of Exploitation, which sheds light on the issue of child labor. Hinrichs describes how child labor — an issue labeled a problem of the past — is highly relevant today, with legislation failing to protect exploited youth workers. As the episode notes, the issue goes beyond the continued exploitation of children; it's a window into the fallacies of identification and regulation of child labor. By debunking previous gaps in the legal structures and today’s lack of corporate accountability, this episode explores and highlights the existence of modern-day child labor.
