| dc.description.abstract | This dissertation focuses on Anglo-American labor reforms during the Industrial Revolution. The most common explanations for the changing age profile of the labor force are evaluated. New insight to the political economy of regulation is provided using empirical methods and game theoretic models. Chapter 1 reviews theories which explain the demand of child labor as a function of technology. Chapter 2 contains an in-depth empirical analysis of the differences in enforcing progressive labor reforms in Victorian Britain. Chapter 3 explores the impact of the United Mine Workers of America (UMWA) on banning child labor from mines. This dissertation is designed to further the study of the political economy of passing and enforcing regulations. | |
