It is sadly not a satire article and comment section there has taken it quite seriously as well.

I would have posted an archive.org snapshot instead but the latter refuses to crawl the site due to pay wall restrictions.

I'm not sure a 17 year old working a few hours a week is what they're thinking of.

Ok the tone of the article is mostly fuzzy, but it seems the publication did explicitly ask for a "defense of child labor" article, which they then published with an Oliver Twist photo. 🤔
