Child labor is a complex problem. First you have the prevalence of child labor in countries that do not enforce child labor laws. So, it's not that there is no legislation, but that it isn't enforced, either because the country doesn't have the resources, or because it is one problem among a myriad of other problems that take priority.
Child labor is not just about the children working in sweat shops to make nike shoes. That's just the image that the media spreads around, and it is the one that directly affects the US, since the US consumer buys products manufactured by sweat shops. However, there are other issues regarding child labor, that do not affect US consumers. For instance, I can walk out of my office to the park, and have my shoes shinned by a 12 year old kid who looks like he's 8. Does that affect US consumers? no. Why is he working anyway? I can give you many reasons. Some child laborers in developing countries work because it is a way to contribute to the family income, others come from abusive homes, and are forced to work by parents or older siblings. Some, especially in the rural areas, work because everyone old and fit enough to do so, works when the family has fields to plant and crops to grow.
I suppose that the hardest group to change depends on the specific case. If it's factories, it would probably be the factory owners who knowingly employ children, and the government officials who allow it.
If it's rural families, it would be the parents, and in that case, the change is not about not allowing the children to work, but about cutting back.
In short, it is the person/persons who have the power in the relationship whose mind is the most difficult to change, since the children have no say in the situation.

Child labor in and of itself is not evil. We seem to forget that not even a hundred years ago it was NORMAL for kids to work on farms, help around their parents' stores, etc.
By our standards kids overseas are exploited by places like Wal-Mart. I hate Wal-Mart as much as most sane people, but exploitation might be a little harsh. Sadly, these overseas sweatshops pay these kids and their folks a better wage than they could get in most of their villages.
I think the actual solution is to get rid of the capitalist society that is poisoning the way the world should work. People should have a safe and comfortable home, enough food, education, and have their medical needs looked after without having to pay through the nose. That's not saying we shouldn't be self-sufficient, but that we need to reexamine why so many people throughout the world live in poverty no matter how long they slave. This is a global problem and it requires a global solution.

The chinese language Communist social gathering governs China. whilst a company or production facility desires to open it desires enable from The social gathering. The CCP will grant enables once you supply money, the extra money the swifter you get enable. And whilst it fairly is inspection time you supply money to CCP inspectors, and you pass. in case you hire new child hard paintings you in basic terms pay extra money to inspectors and you pass. The chinese language Communist social gathering will assure low paying new child labors to agencies as a results of fact the CCP desires to make money too.

In my opinion one way for an individual to deal with this in a meaningful way, is that as consumers, we should always look for, and insist upon, "Fair Trade" products.

I know! It's getting more and more difficult to keep my sweatshop up and running. I don't think we have any options left other that giving substantial bribes to government officials.

How are they going to feed themselves if the factory that they work in shuts down and they have no job and no money.
