Children in Crystalcliff Point have a job starting at 2 and until they're 18. It's called being a student, and is expected to take up the vast majority of their time. School year 'round, no weekends off.

Between sleeping, eating, attending class and studying they'd have little time for much else.

On several Imperial Worlds, its not uncommon to see children as young as five to be working. Its obviosuly dangerous, but the majority of child workers survive. Indeed many of them go on to be factory foremen, a highly respected occupation in the Imperium. And damn near all children working in whatever job prefer that than to be part of the 'White-Sheild' Regiments, or as part of the 'Sons of the Regiment' companies of Imperial Guard Regiments on campaign.

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.


Exactly this.

Partially legal. 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.

The humans can work their children however they want, from whatever age they want - we don't care. We Sidhae spend our childhoods in progenitory vats connected to virtual reality, memories of which are somewhat murky in most of us, and we know that our offspring will grow up the same way, so child labour doesn't really concern us.
Proud National Socialist. Blaming everything on the liberals since 2000.

The world is full of criminal enterprises and terrorist organizations. The most successful ones are known as states.

Life is like surfing the Internet - there's no meaning or purpose, yet you don't really want to quit either.

The fact that slaves are allowed to elect their masters does not abolish the division in masters and slaves.

Don't try to deride me by calling me an "-ist" or "-phobe" unless you are referring to a medical condition or are trying to compliment me.

Socially-liberal capitalist democracy DOES NOT equate to free society.

Contrary to popular belief, National Socialists aren't racists. They simply hate their own race less than others.

^ This.




Human offspring over nine years old, turtle hatchlings over four years old, and mushrooms over five years old may work simple (e.g. factory, manual, assembly) jobs if the factory:
  • Pays them at the same rate as any other employee of their type
  • Protects them from physical harm
  • Does not make them operate a vehicle
  • Receives the permission of all parents/guardians
  • Does not let them handle potentially lethal equipment (e.g. explosives, weapons)
  • Provides them equal oppurtunities for promotion

At age 15 it is legal to work in non-warehouse facilities such as supermarkets or food services. Anywhere where extreme labor is required may not employ minors of such age and below or they will be fined and possibly shut down. At this age employees are unable to work night shift and close as well. Works about 24 hours a week on a non school week and 16 on a school week.

At age 17 you are permitted to work wherever you would like and work whatever hours you want on non-school days. On school days you are eligible to work night shift and close and work up to 48 hours and limits are greatly repealed.

At age 18 there are no restrictions.

Young ponies typically hold down part-time jobs, either working for their parents (we're a mostly agricultural nation, so working on a farm at an early age is common) or for their neighbors. As long as it doesn't interfere with their schooling, it's not discouraged. In fact, among young ponies who have not discovered their Mark and thus their role in life, it's actively encouraged as a path to self-discovery.

Child labor is illegal for the most part (Until the age of 16) but is allowed in some circumstances (Photoshoots, Tv, Media) where diffrent laws come into play

Because our society finds child labor abhorrent, and because we have an abundance of new labor, child labor under the age of 16 is not permitted except in extenuating circumstances.

Never legal. If they wanna work: 16 for part-time, 18 for full-time. Beneath it, a permit accepted by the parliament, signed by the parents, ratified by the major court, and approved by the Department of labour. 90% of the child's wage must go to their parents. Violation to this rule could result in termination of their parenting permit and permanent removal of the child from them to their corresponding tutor approved by Canuxis's ministry of family issues or retain in a state orphanage until 27 which is the suffrage age

Teenagers are expected to work at least part time. Most teen girls work as elementry school teachers or in the hospitality industries while going thru college (13-14yo is the average age of graduating the equivelent of American/European high schools). Most teen boys work in agriculture.
