What is the status of child labour in your nation?

Child labor is a complicated issue within Aurensia. There is no age restrictions on any and all manners of Aurensian society. As such, all actions, so long as they are volitional are legal. If, for example, there is a child of the age of 12 who has attained a mental capacity to sign a contract as would be determined by a court should the matter come into question, then employment would be viable. On the flip side, if a child of the age of 15 cannot mentally assess and decide whether to sign an employment contract reasonably, they may not be employed as the contract is void.

Ultimately, the parent or guardian has the right to assess the employment as well and so long as the child is not emancipated (which would then also be assumed basis for ability to be employed) may terminate employment. Parents may not force employment.
