Children and young person's work

Children and young persons’ bodies may, to a much higher extent, be strained from hard labour. Accordingly, you should be aware that many children and young persons are afraid to tell their employers that there are jobs that they are not up to or are uncertain about. Also, they do not always know their own limitations.

Children and young persons may also be particularly exposed because they often have difficulty seeing the dangers that a job might imply. Generally, they do not have much practical work experience, and they rarely have a good knowledge about the business.

Finally, many young persons want to show that they do not fear working, and they want to make a good impression, and therefore they often overestimate their own abilities.
