My understanding is that there are often minimum age limits for minor employment with a blanket ban below a certain age. When I use the expression âchild labourâ, I donât mean 17 years olds. But youâre right that my phrasing isnât precise there. I also agree people wonât mind children selling lemonades on their own. But in my conversations there was a general agreement that you shouldnât make your 10 years old child work full-time and you absolutely shouldnât employ any kid of that age as an employer.
Even less controversially, since there is agreement that early childrenâs rights legislation was way below the acceptable standard, it serves as an example for âgetting someone to do something less bad but still forbiddenâ.
I donât think this is correct; most of the US doesnât have any age limit on informal jobs like babysitting and yard work. Itâs typically legal for children of any age to work for their parentsâ business. My ten-year-old is sometimes keen to earn money by washing windows or raking leaves for our neighbors, and I donât see anything wrong with this as long as she can opt out when she wishes.
Thank you. Particularly the section with âItâs typically legal for children of any age to work for their parentsâ business.â is new to me. I will replace the examples.
