Once a youth reaches 18 years of age, he or she is no longer subject to the federal child labor provisions. Youth of any age are generally permitted to work for businesses entirely owned by their parents, except those under 16 may not be employed in mining or manufacturing and no one under 18 may be employed in any occupation the Secretary of Labor has declared to be hazardous. The FLSA and the child labor regulations, issued at 29 CFR Part 570, establish both hours and occupational standards for youth. The child labor provisions of the FLSA were enacted to ensure that when young people work, the work does not jeopardize their health, well-being or educational opportunities. The Department of Labor is committed to helping young workers find positive, appropriate and safe employment experiences. For detailed information about the federal child labor provisions, please read Regulations, 29 CFR Part 570.
