Answer to Question 1

The Fair Labor Standards Act does not prohibit all child labor; rather, it proscribes only oppressive child labor. The act prohibits the interstate shipment of goods from establishments employing oppressive child labor. It also prohibits oppressive child labor in any enterprise with two or more employees engaged in the production of goods for interstate commerce. The act defines oppressive child labor by using age restrictions and identifying hazardous occupations.
Employing minors under age eighteen in any occupation identified as hazardous by the secretary of labor is prohibited. Some of the occupations have been identified as hazardous by the secretary of labor, including the following:

occupations involving operation of motor-driven hoisting apparatus;
occupations involving exposure to radioactive substances;
occupations of motor-vehicle operator or helper;
occupations involving operation of power-driven woodworking machines; and
occupations involving wrecking, demolition, and ship-breaking.
