Child Labor (regulatory framework)

Child labor regulatory frameworks are laws and regulations designed to protect children from working in unsafe or inappropriate conditions. They set minimum age limits, specify working hours, and ensure safe environments to prevent exploitation and harm. These frameworks aim to balance children's right to education and development with economic needs, often mandating school attendance and limiting types of work children can perform. Enforcement involves government agencies, and international organizations like ILO promote these standards globally to reduce child labor and promote safe, fair employment practices for minors.
