Abstract

The chapter provides a historical survey of child labor in early republican Turkey. Capitalist development and class differences were the two main factors that shaped child labor. Evaluating the Turkish experience of child labor within a broader, international context, the present study argues that capitalist development had an overall adverse effect on working-class children despite the official rhetoric that the nation owed to its children the best that it had to give. The emphasis on the problems of child labor in public speeches and several legal changes notwithstanding, political elites took no comprehensive step to ameliorate the socioeconomic conditions of child laborers.
