How does children's labor differ in different modes of livelihood and what factor best explains the variation?

What will be an ideal response?


Answer: The ideal answer will include:
1. Children aid in basic tasks in foraging, horticultural, and pastoralist livelihoods.
2. They do the most work in horticultural societies, possibly because both adult men and women have time-consuming areas of responsibility.
3. In agricultural societies the labor of children is used to varying degrees depending on the culture.
4. In industrial/digital economies child labor may be used in some manufacturing situations or in some cases in the informal sector as sex workers.
