Employment Age Limitations

Employment age limitations refer to laws and regulations that specify the minimum and sometimes maximum ages for individuals to work. For example, many countries set a minimum age, often 14 or 16, to protect young people from exploitation and ensure their education is prioritized. Certain jobs, especially those deemed hazardous or requiring specific life experience, may also have maximum age limits. These regulations aim to balance youth employment opportunities while safeguarding their health and education, ensuring that the workforce is both capable and protected.
