(if this is not like a personal question copy and paste the paragraph below)

While child labor is a detestable act, some people, most likely business owners, support child labor because it helps them. For example if a business owner wants to cut corners and mass produce lets say jeans child labor pays him more because he doesn't have to pay them or pays very little. While if he were to hire the same amount of grown workers, the least he pays them would be $8 an hour because that's minimum wage.

Answer:

Cultural beliefs have an important role in encouraging child labor. In developing countries, people believe that work has a constructive effect on character building and increases skill development.
