Do you think there's the possibility that families are kept out of severe poverty because their children can be utilized to earn the family money? Do you think lowering the options for families will increase their quality of life?
If you do believe those things I'm certainly not one to say you're wrong. I could imagine a scenario where removing all child labor is beneficial to the whole, but I do think it's a much more simple model to believe that the more options a family has, the better off they are long term.
Of course all of this rests on child labor being a choice for the family and not compulsory, something I don't know the specifics of for every situation.
