Youth Employment Regulations

Youth Employment Regulations are rules designed to protect young workers by setting standards for working hours, job safety, and permissible duties. They ensure minors are not overworked, are kept safe at work, and their school and health are prioritized. These regulations vary by age and location but generally restrict heavy lifting, dangerous tasks, and late shifts for younger workers. They also require proper training and sometimes parental consent. The goal is to allow young people to gain work experience responsibly without risking their well-being or education.
