In 1938. the Fair Labor Standards Act provided comprehensive regulation of child labor in interstate commerce. In the States. there had been additional strengthening of child labor laws. But by this time. In a rapidly changing industrial climate. the conditions affecting young people in employment had altered markedly. To be sure. violations of child labor laws were and still are a problem. Among migrant farm laborers. children of school age and below were and are employed by the thousands under primitive conditions. However. new priorities involving young workers were appearing on the national scene. School dropouts and juvenile delinquency were emerging as the pressing youth problems of the day.
