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 all for it… As long as they get paid as much as their adult peers!
It’s a bad idea to get kids socialized, thinking low pay is ever acceptable.
There should also be mandatory training about wage theft and how serious a crime it is for an employer to expect anyone to show up early or stay late without paying for that extra time. Have a great big award ceremony for the kids that reported employers who were caught pulling that shit! Make the employer pay them an amount equivalent to all the lost wages times three.
You want people to have more kids? Have the state give parents tax benefits (or just checks!) for each child’s earnings until they’re 25 or so.
