Child labor laws determined the legal age of the child to work. These laws ensure that the primary focus of such children is in education and protects them working in condition that are dangerous and hazardous for their health.

Industrialization was at boom and many children faced many unforeseen accidents. Children were not allowed to work until the age of 14 and 16 in some states. A few states needed exact paper work which allowed a child to work. Age and Employment certificates are needed in order to work legally.
