Child Labor In Your Nation

[Nativian Islands]

Is Child Labor prevalent in your nation?

[Frenca]

No, it has been illegal since 1889.

[Swilatia]

We see nothing wrong with it, as long as they get paid like every-one else.

[Southland Sudan]

It is against the law, but the broken-down nature of law enforcement means it still often happens. In some places local officials choose not to see it because there are not enough grown people.

~ President Evander Maximilian

[RoyalSocializ]

citizens can only enter the workforce after compulsory education that ends when they're 18 years old.

[Nativian Islands]

It is very commonplace in a small chain of islands with little population as Nativian Islands.

However, there are regulations:
-No Child may be put in labor under 7.
-No Child may be forced or abducted into labor.
-No Child may be forced to remain in labor (Only his or her consent only, Parents do not count)
-No Child may be denied treatment for injuries or illness.

[Fatatatutti]

There are all kinds of opportunities for children to make money. Checking the couch for loose change is one of their major industries. Many children seem to have an endless supply of quarters behind their ears, though only their grandfathers can extract them. Beachcombing is a good source of interesting "stuff" that is useful for getting mother's attention and occasionally has minimal intrinsic value too. Then there are those pesky fourteen-year-olds with their lemonade stands that the government has been valiantly trying to stamp out.

If you don't consider those labour per se, keep in mind that the most common occupation listed on tax returns is "surfer".

[Maraque]

Most children in the Kingdom start work at 6 years old as part of their education. By the time they graduate from high school they have 12 years of work experience under their belt.

[Greater Rhodes]

In Greater Rhodes, no child under the age of seven can be put under any stressful forms of physical, mental, or any other type of labour, and to be able to legally work for any corporation in Greater Rhodes a child must be at least fourteen. There are, however, specific jobs which a child between the ages of seven and fourteen are able to do, such as paper routes, odd jobs, cuttting grass, etc; all by their own choice, of course.

[Ostronopolis]

Such an issue is under the legislative authority of a specific state to make their own laws regarding. However, in approximately fourteen of the states child labor is entirely legal when permitted by the guardians of said child and proportionate monetary retribution is paid. Notoriously however, most states have a considerable lack of laws disallowing such a thing as child labor.

Most of the aforementioned is deemed as being unnecessary as should a child wish to garner employment by their own, or their parent's own volition, such is entirely permissible.

[The Anglo-Saxon Empire]

You can start working at 14, at which point you can do any profession you want to as long as your parents approve of it, after 18 your parents have no say in the matter.

[Munichburg]

In Munichburg, a child must be at least 18 to work in hazardous conditions, but can get employed in a "safe job" when they turn 15.

[Geilinor]

Children in Geilinor are not allowed to enter the workforce until they are 16.

[12 Virs]

Child labor is commonplace among the 12 Virs:

• Children of the priestly castes usually begin work as acolytes as soon as they're old enough to understand their duties.
• Male children of our aristocratic castes are trained as pages among the noble courts before becoming squires to a noble and trained in the military arts.
• Female children of the aristocratic castes serve as ladies-in-waiting in the courts until they're married off.
• Among the commoners, children are usually apprenticed to a tradesman or craftsman, working and learning a trade.
• Children of the slave-castes are put to work as soon as they're old enough to obey orders.

[Neo Israel]

Neo Israeli law forbids using children in strenuous work.

[Jankenjin]

No, it was outlawed well over a century ago. Children are permitted to take on simple jobs, but nothing strenuous or hazardous.

[Victorious Decepticons]

We put new slaves to work when they're 15. We've found that if we do so before that, they crash so much sooner that it is actually inefficient.

Of course, our DNA Developers are working on lowering that development time to something far more reasonable, like a year or two.

[SaintB]

Doesn't exist.

[The Children of Mama]

I guess it does by default.

[Mama adds: Don't worry, I don't make my Children do any work they're not capable and willing to.]

[Greater Americania]

Well, you can get a job legally when you're 15, although most businesses only hire at a minimum age of 16. However, there are child labor laws for the protection of the Greater Americanian Empire's minors. There are no kids substituting school with a 18-hour factory shift, if that's what you're asking.

[The Scandinvans]

Child labor law?

Who would desire to prevent children from helping to provide for the welfare of their families and learning the value of a dollar?

I will tell you, Marxists, Communists, and parasites.

[Arumdaum]

Child labor is illegal in Arumdaum.

[Neo Israel]

Child labor law?

Who would desire to prevent children from helping to provide for the welfare of their families and learning the value of a dollar?

I will tell you, Marxists, Communists, and parasites.

There comes a time when a child should begin to learn such things, but it is not when he is ten years old. This does not make one a Marxist, but a morally sound and compassionate parent.

- Foreign Minister Mordecai Dekel

[Turanbirligi]

the children under 12 are forbidden from working. the children between 12 and 16 years may work not more than 4 hours per day and not more than 16 hours total per week. they are also banned from doing hard physical labour. the teens between 16 and 18 are permitted to work maximum 6 hours per day and 24 hours per week totally. they are allowed to work most professions unless they are made to be absent from school.

[La Habana]

Children are allowed to work in La Habana, but most jobs here require an education of some kind, therefore child labour is not common since they do not have the necessary skills; of course there are some high-flyers who are put into advanced classes and graduate early. Our youngest University graduate is 12, and he already has a job in the Mathematics & Advanced Geometry Department at La Habana University.
