June 12 is World Day Against Child Labor (World Day Against Child Labour), first conducted by the International Labor Organization in 2002. His goal - to attract attention to the problem and the need for its elimination measures. How are things going with the ban on child labor in Ukraine?
According to the latest data, the number of working children in the world between the ages of 5 and 17 years is 218 million, and 73 million of them are working in hazardous conditions. Many of them do not have time to go to school, not to play, they do not have enough food and proper care.
In Ukraine, according to article 188 of the Labor Law can work 16 years. In this case, the law stipulates that the work should not cause harm to health and interfere with the learning process. Therefore, young people in our country can not work full-time, night shifts, involved in dangerous and harmful production. Also to the young person who has not attained the age of 18, took on the job required him parental permission.
At the same time, according to opinion polls, 80% of Ukrainian children under the age of 14 years as well as their peers in Europe or the United States, is not averse to earn some money on vacation, in order to manage money on their own discretion. In many countries it is normal practice, the children do not earn because of the lack of funds in the family, and to try yourself in the adult independent living. Where the teenager can earn in Ukraine?Find a job a teenager is difficult in our country. Wages minors charged exactly the same way as adult workers, (currently the minimum wage in Ukraine according to the legislation, it is 3200 USD.), and the young age and lack of experience off many potential employers. In addition, adolescents enjoy greater privileges than other workers. So, it is impossible to establish a probationary period and the employer must unconditionally provide, upon request, leave without pay. Difficulties arise in the case if the employer decides to terminate the employment contract. Therefore, employers are in no hurry to take to his teens and even more so to employ them officially.
