While child labor laws and protections aim to safeguard children's rights and welfare, they can inadvertently create adverse outcomes. This study critically examines these unintended consequences, focusing on two case studies: the German labor law affecting Spanish football prodigy Lamine Yamal during the 2024 UEFA European Championship and the 1997 Indian ban on children working in circuses. The paper employs a critical legal and socio-economic lens to explore how well-intentioned laws may overlook socio-economic realities, often undermining their objectives. The study advocates for dynamic, context-sensitive policymaking that addresses the complexities of child welfare.
