Look in the mirror, my dear.
Considering that we haven't started a real debate (but we have rather just posited our opinions) nobody has backed up anything. But I know that once we get started, you probably won't and I probably will, which will increase my level of annoyance to a level that I generally seek to avoid in something that is generally as pleasurable as carrying on an intelligent debate with a user such as yourself.

You're speaking in such obsurities it's ridiculous.

So you were going to have me provide sources for a claim I have yet to make in a debate we have yet to engage in?

No. We never started a debate. I never pointed out any claims you have made in this thread that lack sources where they should contain sources. I just said that we should both take your advice to agree to disagree, you for whatever reasons you said it in the first place, and me because I know your track record of not posting sources and I find such debates annoying and don't wish to engage in them. So, drop it.

Most often with child labor it isn't the child making the decision that they think their time is most efficiently spent working - it is their parents making that decision. Anytime someone else is deciding what is best for a person you greatly increase the chance that the decision is sub-optimal.
I dug up my Microeconomics lecture notes.

The axiom that is violated with child labor would most likely be the Completeness Axiom:

"For any set of goods being considered, a person can identify their preferences."


"Lack of information or experience can cause you to violate this axiom".

(Reference - Dr. Steven Water's Econ 380 Lecture 2 Notes).

Economic theory is built upon this and a few other axioms. When it is violated, the theory is no longer valid.

OK - you've stated a claim that I have a "track record of not posting sources."

Source please.

I'm done playing this game with you bro. As you said, let's agree to disagree. Take your own advice.
