Final Summary of your Chosen Article
The minimum age for children to work in Canada depends on the province. However, most provinces prohibit minors from working dangerous jobs or jobs that could have a bad effect on the child’s moral development. In order to work, parents and schools may have to approve of their children working. Employers are also held to a standard of protecting the health and safety of the young workers. While many countries rely heavily on child labor, that is not the case for Canada who requires that children are in school at normal times during the day and not working at night.
