- Control over children's access to resources
- In industrial societies, children have only limited opportunities to earn money, and so they remain dependent economically on adults.
- Labour laws and compulsory schooling exclude them from all but the most marginal, low-paid, part-time employment.
- Although the state pays child benefit, this goes to the parent not the child.
- Pocket money given by parents may depend on "good behaviour," and there may be restrictions on what it could be spent on.
- Contrasts with economic role of children in the third world.societies and in European societies in the past.
- Example: Katz: Sundanese children were already engaged in work at the age of three or four.
