Project 2025, a conservative playbook for a second Trump term, advocates for rolling back child labor protections, report also cites

State governments across the US are taking steps to eliminate protections for minors as rates of child labor violations, injuries and chronic school absenteeism rise, according to a report released on Wednesday.

The report by Governing for Impact, the Economic Policy Institute, and Child Labor Coalition proposes actions the Biden-Harris administration can take in response to a recent surge in child labor violations around the country and a trend of some states passing legislation that rolls back state-level child labor protections.

Its authors also warn that moves to weaken child protections will probably escalate under a second Donald Trump presidency.
