A breaker boy was a coal-mining worker in the United States and United Kingdom whose job was to separate impurities from coal by hand in a coal breaker. Although breaker boys were primarily children, elderly coal miners who could no longer work in the mines because of age, disease, or accident were also sometimes employed as breaker boys. The use of breaker boys began in the mid-1860s. Although public disapproval of the employment of children as breaker boys existed by the mid-1880s, the practice did not end until the early 1920s.

- ブレーカー・ボーイ(英語:breaker boy)とは、アメリカ合衆国とイギリスに見られた炭鉱作業者の一種であり、砕炭場(coal breaker)において石炭から不純物を手作業で分離することをその職務としていた。ブレーカー・ボーイは主として児童であったが、年配の炭鉱夫の中で年齢・病気・事故といった理由でこれ以上採掘作業に従事できなくなった者もブレーカー・ボーイとして雇用されることがあった。ブレーカー・ボーイの利用は1860年代半ばから始まった。児童労働に反対する世論は1880年代半ばにはすでに形成されていたにもかかわらず、ブレーカー・ボーイという雇用慣行は1920年代初頭まで継続していた。 (ja)
- Вы́борщик поро́ды — работник шахты, вручную отделяющий уголь от примесей. Использование выборщиков породы в США началось в середине 1860-х годов, там они назывались бре́йкер-бойз (англ. breaker boys — «дети-ломатели»). Название связано с тем, что выборщиками породы работали в первую очередь дети, а также старики, больные или люди, которые не могли найти другую профессию. Несмотря на общественное осуждение, использование детей в шахтах США продолжалось до 1920-х годов. (ru)
- Met breaker boys ('brekerjongens') worden de arbeiders aangeduid die werkzaam waren aan de lopende band in een ('kolenbreker') in de Verenigde Staten of Groot-Brittannië. De taak van een breaker boy bestond in het handmatig scheiden van onzuiverheden uit de steenkolen. Breaker boys waren voornamelijk kinderen, maar soms werden oudere mijnwerkers als breaker boy aangesteld omdat ze door hun leeftijd, ziekte of als gevolg van een ongeluk niet langer in de mijnen konden werken. Vandaar het spreekwoord onder mijnwerkers in Pennsylvania: "Once an adult, twice a boy." (nl)
