Podcast Research Proposal

For my podcast I am going to write about child labour in early 20th century. In this podcast I will

tell about the conditions of the working children at that time. I will go through the numbers of

works that were performed by the children and how they were paid. It will also include the heath

condition of the children who were working at the factories or in any other industries. My main

focus will be on the question that why children were forced to do the work? Is there was any law

regarding the child labour during the starting of 20th century. If so, then what was it? If not then,

governments were concerned about this thing or not? I will also include some fact regarding the

child labour. I will go through the new rules that were made by the. It will also include a law that

was made by the supreme court of United stated which stated that if child was any mine or mill,

then the company under which they were working had to pay tax on behalf of children, this was

known as Child Labour Tax Case. I will go through this case and will conclude if it was wrong

or right for children or if the companies had stopped to hire new children after this. I will take

help from the scholarly articles and some primary sources for this podcast.
