Child labour in your country?

[Iglesian Archipelago]

What are the laws regarding child labour in your nation? Is it permitted? Is it outlawed? Is it partially legal?

In Iglesiantis, child labour is legal. However, forced labour is not (and this applies to other people as well).

[Lenapia]

What are the laws regarding child labour in your nation?

Employees as young as fourteen are permitted in certain industries, but they are limited with regards to how many hours a week they may work, they may not handle heavy equipment, no bladed implements, and they may not be scheduled in a way which puts them in conflict with educational needs.

Upon the age of sixteen, said employees could handle sharp blades and such like, but hours are still limited, though less so, and heavy equipment is still just right out.

Upon the age of eighteen, they are legally adults.

[Laissez-Faire]

A contract of employment is not determined by age nor any status, but on duress or exploitation in obtaining such a contract.

It's a standard we hold to every contract- it's capacity is not determined by age, sex, gender, martial status, etc., but by the mental state of the person at the time. Any other precedent, in our view, would endanger this principle in serving the rights of the many.

In summary, no, Child labor is not illegal in Laissez-Faire.

[Spendor]

Child labor is heavily restricted for the protection from abuse; however child entrepreneurship is encouraged.

[Indeos]

There are no actual laws about it, but it's not a very widespread practice. Non-robotic/magical workers are actually fairly rare in Indeos, and not everything that looks like a child (or person, for that matter) is a child, so using orphans (or street children, or kidnappees) would be a risky prospect at best.

[St Joanne]

Children live in the schools thus learning a maximum that is needed in life.
Because of this round the clock 7/a week treatment, no time is left for work.
St Joanne is proud, however, to have some of the brightest people in the world thanks to this.

We could however do something about the suicide rates.




In any case, Child Labor is not illegal, just extremely rare.

[Swilatia]

As long as they get proper wages and working conditions, we don't see the problem.

[Siorafrica]

What are the laws regarding child labour in your nation? Is it permitted? Is it outlawed? Is it partially legal?

In the Iglesian Archipelago, child labour is entirely outlawed and considered to be a form of slavery. The minimum age people can work is 13 for part-time, and 16 for full-time. The exceptions are children involved in television, cinema, theatre, modelling or similar activities.

This.

[Seperate Vermont]

As long as they get proper wages and working conditions, we don't see the problem.

^This. Short and sweet.

[The Merchant Republics]

There are no laws restricting labour in the Merchant Republics.

A job is considered a right of passage in youth, by about 12 almost every child (especially boys) will have been employed in one way or another, that said these jobs will usually be very small, usually working with kin or friends of the family as apprentices, they rarely if ever actually need the money they make, but Mercatorum parents are very strict about never letting their children have "allowances".

For a child under 12 to work more than 4 or 5 hours a week would be unheard of, but again it's not illegal, just not necessary. Most parents earn more than enough to support their family, usually on a single income.

[Nullarni]

We are in full compliance with WA #4. We have no laws that go further than that.

[Chyeknovostan Republic]

Well, the USSCR has no basis on such law, which means it is left to the states. For Chyeknovostan, a being can be 14, and choose to work, However certain limitations do apply such as driving or machinery or working in factories.

[Virabia]

It's outlawed and while people can be employed at 18, most don't start work until 22 after attending university.

[Fiddlegreen Farms]

Prohibited to those under age 16. Those over 16 years of age may work no more than 16 hours per week.

Only those over age 18 one may work full time - 32 hours per week.

[Costa Fiero]

People can start paid part time work from the age of 16. Full time work can begin at 18. Whilst there are no laws banning child labour as such, a lot of rural, subsistence farmers have their families working on their farms , which include some younger children. This has happened since before colonisation and is usually seen as essential in a family which makes just enough to survive. It also passes skills onto the younger generations.

[The Tavan Race]

So you've an ideological problem with slavery, but you see it as okay when that slavery is being used for a certain purpose? Makes sense. After all, being able to watch TV with young people in it is clearly more important than avoiding the exploitation thereof.

[Lafayette Ronald Hubbard]

all children must work, the defiant ones get the dangerous jobs.

[Holy Orthodox Empire (Ancient)]

Pope Peter the XIII bans all forms of child labor and any criminals will be dealt with according to the decision of the local Friar- usually some forms of fasting, public admission of sin, and hard labor.

[Imeriata]

There are no laws against it more than that the children are not to be put into direct danger for their lives and children are especially sought after in mines were their small size allows them to crawl through and mine narrow tunnels.

[Cirona]

Children are allowed to work as long as they wish to, get proper wages and working conditions and as well as if it is not interfering with their education.

[Gallade]

Child labour is certainly legal in the Empire. Lower class citizens cannot afford to educate their children so send them to work as a means of bringing in extra income to the household.

Many corporations employ children for menial labour tasks or couriering.

[Chenabate]

outIawed.
However, the minimum working age is just 12 years.
And, for exampIe, an orphan kid who didn't want to Iive in an institution, can by their own accord, go out and make a Iife for themseIves and get a job (compIying with the 12 year age ruIe of course..)

[Urenus]

Child labour is completely prohibited in the Queendom, exceptions are television, theaters and cinema's.

At the age of 20, they are adults, and as such allowed to work.
