The most sweeping federal law that restricts the employment and abuse of child workers is the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). Child labor provisions under FLSA are designed to protect the educational opportunities of youth and prohibit their employment in jobs that are detrimental to their health and safety

Answer:

Im the United States, the "Fair Labor Standards Act" does prohibit children below the age of 14 from working in most industries. However, this does not apply to agricultural work, which results in a handful of children doing agricultural child labor.
