The Model Child Labor Law

The Model Child Labor Law is a framework designed to provide guidelines for regulating the employment of children. Its primary goals are to protect minors from exploitation and harmful work conditions while allowing for some work that does not interfere with their education or well-being. The law sets minimum age requirements, limits working hours, and ensures that jobs are safe and suitable for children. By establishing these standards, the law aims to safeguard children’s rights and promote their development, while balancing the needs of families and communities that rely on child labor in certain situations.
