An Overview of Federal Child Labor Laws
If U LikeThis Post than Mail to Your Friends The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) establishes child labor standards (as well as minimum wage, overtime pay, equal pay, whistleblower, and record keeping standards). These standards affect full-time and part-time workers in the private sector and in federal, state, and local governments.
The FLSA’s child labor provisions are designed to protect the educational opportunities of minors and prohibit their employment in jobs and under conditions detrimental to their health or well-being.
The FLSA regulates child labor by (a) setting minimum ages for jobs that have been determined to be particularly hazardous, (b) setting minimum ages for all other jobs (that is, jobs that are not considered particularly hazardous), and (c) limiting the hours that children are permitted to work. There are also exceptions to some of these requirements.
Minimum Age for Particularly Hazardous Work:
The FLSA distinguishes between particularly hazardous work for children and other work that is not considered particularly hazardous.
The minimum age for particularly hazardous work in agriculture is age 16, whereas the particularly hazardous work in all other sectors of the economy is age 18. These minimum ages are established by law, and would require an act of Congress to be changed.
The FLSA gives the Secretary of Labor the discretion to issue regulations describing what occupations in agriculture and in all other sectors of the economy are particularly hazardous to children. These regulations are called Hazardous Occupation Orders (or more commonly Hazardous Orders or HOs). Read the rest of this entry →
ORPHANAGES IN KASHMIR “Children of the valley “
If U LikeThis Post than Mail to Your Friends By Shoma Chatterji : In trouble-torn Jammu and Kashmir, thousands of children have been orphaned during decades of violence, and millions have had their childhood taken away and replaced by memories of strife. But for some of them, there may be a little hope now, ever since the Borderless World Foundation, a non-governmental, non-profitable, registered organisation based in Pune, Maharasthra, decided to intervene positively in their lives.
The BWF, a group of youngsters with a humnitarian outlook to life, has been working to provide a much-needed human touch in the border areas of India. The project for J&K, which began in 2002, is named Basera-e-Tabassum (BeT), which means ‘abode of smiles’. BeT is a rights and needs-based project, working towards the physical and psychological recovery and the social rehabilitation of these children. BWF’s aim through this project is to provide food, shelter and education to orphan girl children between 4 and 10 years of age in the state. Read the rest of this entry →
