We educate our youth, supposedly so they can contribute to society. In tribal life, if your father hunted he took you along and taught you how to hunt, or if your mother made baskets she taught you to make baskets. So in a weird way, child labor is just capitalisms extension to that model.

Teaching children useful survival skills in a subsistence hunter gatherer society - woke

Teaching children to operate machinery in order to make higher profits for robber baron capitalists - broke

Oh I’m not saying it’s right. (Though the votes on that post reflect the readers’ capability of understanding nuance.) but it took steps even before we got to capitalism. Those pyramids didn’t build themselves.
