I disagree with them here, consenting to trade is only applicable to adults, not children - An adult can agree to any terms and conditions they like, a child lacks the ability to so with the same knowledge of the consequences.
Whether or not it should be the parents or a blanket ultimatum that dictates child working conditions is another issue, I'm leaning towards it being the responsibility of the parents to ultimately decide the terms that their child, if they wish to work, should do so under - This of course has the previsions that the parent is not allowed to force or coerce the child into working, it has to ultimately be the choice of the child to seek labor. And keep in mind, when we speak of 'child' it's really teenagers.
