Living on a Reduced Income in 1868

If child labor wasn’t illegal I imagine a lot of people would be able to retain a child as a servant.

My labor was extremely cheap until I turned 18 and had to be given minimum wage.

14 year old me could be had for €500/month. Come to think of it, I’m not quite sure why that’s fine in a supermarket. Maybe you can actually have a servant?

Here (NL) it is legal to work from 13 years old (non industrial work). There are also no minimum wages for certain ages
