International Labor Organization
• As a general rule, most countries consider a “child” to be anyone under the age of 18. In most cases, someone between the age of 15 and 18 can engage in “non-hazardous” labor, and some countries have restrictions on the number of hours that these laborers work, to ensure that their work does not interfere with their education. Some countries also have an additional category, between 13 and 15, for “light labor.” These ages are in line with an international standard promoted by the International Labor Organization, and no countries are entirely without child labor laws.

Thesis
• Labor laws for minors should suite the country, but there should be a minimum
age that you can’t have kids work under.

The U.S.A
• In the US there are many programs for child labor. The government has it’s
own set of rules and laws. Each state has a differential of the laws that apply
to them.

Age Requirements
• Minors are not allowed to perform any jobs declared hazardous.
• Such as driving, operating equipment, and excavating.
• Since the government and states have laws if they overlap the more protective law comes into play.
![Page 8: Copy Of Teen Work Regulatons](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052907/559386ab1a28ab73058b4762/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Employment by Parents
• Rules do not apply if you work for your parents, you can be employed at any age. Relatives don’t have to pay you minimum wage. You cannot employ a
minor if the job involves mining, manufacturing, or the job requires a
minimum age of 18.

Enforcement
• There are investigators employed by the department of labor stationed all over the US.
• They investigate your business to see if any laws are being broken. Laws that are broken, they should help you fix them. If an employee complains it is illegal to fire or reprimand them.

Forms• In many states under 18 you need to fill
out forms with your parents before you can start jobs. This is called a work
permit. Work permits can be easy or hard to get. In order to get a work
permit you must fill out a section, the potential employer, one of your parents,
and your school. After everyone has finished and approved you then can
start work.
