Honestly, I don't even believe it's inefficient. There's plenty of documented/recorded evidence of child labor around the world. Sometimes, all you really need is a pair of hands, and kids are physically capable of doing it. Countries with shitty labor laws are ripe with child labor abuse.

True. Kids were sent up chimneys to clean because it was more efficient.
