Restricted Occupations for Minors

Restricted occupations for minors refer to certain jobs that individuals under a specific age (usually 18) are legally prohibited from performing. These restrictions exist to protect the health, safety, and overall well-being of young workers. Such occupations often include hazardous work environments, roles involving heavy machinery, or jobs that may expose minors to harmful substances. Laws regarding restricted occupations vary by country and state, aiming to ensure that minors can work in safe and age-appropriate conditions, encouraging their development while safeguarding their rights.
