As a society we've kinda decided that they shouldn't do certain things and should be in school for certain amounts of time and all that.

Which makes some sense here, not so much for the bottom two thirds of the people in a third world country though

BUT IF IT DOESNT, and there is a disparity in the rules between countries.

Which isn't a problem. Some third world child is not going to be anywhere near as productive as most American workers. They get some business by working for peanuts, but they won't create mass unemployment here, or force the US to employ kids, or force American workers to work for anything like the rates they get.

Different rules in different countries at different stags of development is a very good idea with positive results, not a bad idea.
