    This document provides an overview of international trade and discusses key concepts related to child labor, free trade, protectionism, and economic development. It examines Chang's analogy between child labor and free trade, noting that developing countries must invest in more difficult but higher-returning industries through protective policies that initially make local consumers use more expensive domestic products. Key terms defined include labor market, street hawker, danger/risk. Post-reading exercises involve completing sentences using vocabulary words like protectionism, high-return, physicist, inefficient, stimulate, expose, and analogy.
