Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sustained economic growth provides better employment opportunities for parents and reduces the need for children to work for income, leading to a decrease in child labor.

The other options are unlikely to reduce child labor. A decrease in the average income of workers may actually increase child labor as families may face greater financial difficulties and rely on the income provided by their children. An increase in tariffs may lead to a reduction in exports and therefore, decrease demand for child labor, but it is not a sustainable long-term solution. Limited access to modern technology may not necessarily reduce child labor as children may continue to work in traditional occupations such as agriculture or domestic work.
