Free market forces ended slavery (as slavery could not compete with free labor).
Child labor used to be necessary for subsistence farming as otherwise everyone would starve. Improving productivity due to free markets ended that, and made it possible for children to not need to work.
Have you ever thought about children in your workplace? In most I'm aware of, they'd be useless and even counterproductive. Child labor is only for the most menial of tasks, and those have long been automated.
