Child Labor Regulations

Child labor regulations are rules that limit work hours and types of jobs minors can perform to protect their health, education, and well-being. These laws specify the minimum age for employment, restrict hazardous tasks, and set maximum working hours, especially during school times. They ensure children can focus on school and personal development while working when appropriate. Employers must comply with these regulations, which vary by age and location, to prevent exploitation and unsafe conditions for young workers.
