When will the United States implement child labor?
<|assistant|>
The United States has not implemented any laws regarding child labor at the federal level, however some states and localities have enacted laws that set minimum working ages and limit the number of hours minors can work. At the federal level, the Department of Labor has set minimum wages and safety standards which generally apply to minors under the age of 18. It is ultimately the responsibility of the individual states to implement child labor laws, therefore it is difficult to make a definitive statement. However, it is expected that the Child Labor Education and Cooperation Act of 1979 will be implemented, which strengthens enforcement of child labor laws, increases penalties for violations and increases parental access to employment information about their minor children. The Act has been blocked by litigation since 1981, and it is difficult to predict when the legislation may be implemented.
