One of the reasons for Child Labor to occur, especially in undeveloped countries, is because it is needed due to poverty.

There is a difference between attitude and toleration between the Western World and the Developing countries. For example, a family in Sweden or America frowns upon child labor and believe it is not suitable for children to work; they should be educated and taken care of, letting children be children.
For a family in Bangladesh or Somalia education for children is a distant dream. However, the families poverty and need for sources may evolve in children working. It is not frowned upon, although schooling would be the preferable option.

Child labor is a cause of poverty, lack of resources, lack of money, but also the lack of schooling.

in my experience i have worked with children a lot as baby sitting i have done waitrising and alot of cleaning.

well u can always work at publix on the weekends!!!

well, i have been working on the local market like just setting up and putting away the products i got paid �26 a day and that for 4 days isn't paid at all. if that isn't your thing then go for sweeping hairdresses or cleaning.

WELL YOU COULD DO SOME WAITRESSING IN PUBS SOME ALLOW 14 YEAR OLDS

Get some 1 in your school to help you, like a youth worker. My youth worker is helping me to get 1.

:

If I were you I would get a job at a local store and see if you could like restock or something!

When You Turn 14 . . .

You can work in an: office, grocery store, retail store, restaurant, movie theater, baseball park, amusement park, or gasoline service station. And don't forget the possibility of baby-sitting or pet-sitting or yardwork for people around the neighborhood

You generally may not work in: communications or public utilities jobs, construction or repair jobs, driving a motor vehicle or helping a driver, manufacturing and mining occupations, power-driven machinery or hoisting apparatus other than typical office machines, processing occupations, public messenger jobs, transporting of persons or property, workrooms where products are manufactured, mined or processed, or warehousing and storage.

In addition, you may not work any other job or occupation declared hazardous by the Secretary of Labor.

Different rules apply to farms, and individual States may have stricter rules.

• I'm 14 and there isn't many jobs you can get. I've tried ringing around lots of places but I have a paper route which is about it really. Some restaurants can take you on to wash up and also you can help out cleaning in a hair dressers but it is hard to find anywhere!

• None I know I am 14 & all the jobs we can get pay very little (Meaning you'd probably make more with allowance) Or the job ends up being something that you end up hating so much that you want to quit.

• I just turned 14 in May and I been trying to get jobs in kennels and waitress but it is so hard because I live in Pennsylvania and there is nothing near by me. My mom doesn't drive and her boyfriend don't wanna drive me to work that is more then 2 minutes away. It drives me insane. So I thought I could try to take a bus to Stroudsburg mall and seek a job there. It is so hard to get money and when you get it, it is never enough. I am trying to save up for a working car so when I'm 16 I will be set because my family right now is so broke and it is going to be difficult to do the things I need without a job!

• It's certainly not easy, but it is possible to get a job at 14. My advice would be to go to your neighborhood businesses (restaurants and stores), and see if they have any jobs. A lot of places won't hire 14 year olds because of the reputation of 14 year olds being immature, or because of the restrictive child labor laws (they vary by each state, do a Google search for "[your state] child labor laws" to see what the laws are for you). But, if you present yourself professionally, then you can certainly get something!

• If there's a Winn Dixie in your area, try it. I did and you have to be 14 and up. I work there now

• ~!*take my advice*!~

• I'M 14 YRS OLD AND GOT A GOOD JOB ON THE OCEAN. I WENT AND TOLD THEM THAT I WANTED A JOB AND THEY ASKED ME WHAT I WANTED TO DO. I SAID THAT I WANTED TO WORK ON THE OCEAN AND THEY SAID OK. THE NEXT DAY I WENT ON THIS BOAT AND IT TOOK ME ALL THE WAY OUT AND THEY SAID I WAS HIRED. EVERY DAY MY DAD DRIVES ME TO WORK AND SITS THERE AND WAITS UNTIL I GET DONE. I MAKE 200 IN TIPS EVERY NIGHT AND 700 EVERY TWO WEEKS FOR MY CHECK. I LIVE IN FLORIDA AND I AM MAKING TWICE NOW, BUT I AM DOING GOOD AND GO TO SCHOOL WHICH IS GOOD. ALSO THEY ARE FLEXIBLE WITH HOURS, SO TAKE MY ADVICE AND GO TO.

• The best thing for your 14 year old girlfriend to do would be to excel in school, go to college and get a REALLY GOOD job. But at that age most children are too impatient to be "all grown up" and don't want to wait.

• Start searching at your local grocery stores, restaurants, etc. Or you can even go to the Work source near you.

• A couple of my 14 yr old friends found a job working in the snack bar at their pool (during summer) and some restaurants will allow you to waitress. all that you really have to do is ask around where u live. :)

• Washing cars, babysitting, mowing lawns ... that about sums it up

• You can babysit. Go around your neighborhood and tell peole your hours, how much you cost [per hour], tell them how much experience you have, and give them your phone number. Otherwise, I think due to child labor laws, you can't have a steady job that pays regularly until you're 15 or 16.
• Im 14 loads of my friends work in hairdressers, helping out its good pay. Or go around asking shops I now work in a small shop helping making the hand bags :P just ask your parents friends someone is bound to need some help with businesses or something good luck :)

Technically it's not illegal in the U.S.A., just highly controversial. Children modeling nude can be seen in the works of Jock Sturges, David Hamilton, and Sally Mann just to name three photographers. The photo books of these photographers can be purchased through out the country.

The controversy over children modeling nude stems from a dispute over what constitutes pornography. To some people any form of nudity or even a suggestive pose while fully clothed is pornographic. To others anything short of intercourse is considered erotic art and not pornography.

A general rule of thumb is if the subject of the art is not involved in any form of sexual act either with another person of on their own. Is not in a pose that causes the eye to be drawn directly to the buttocks, genitals or breasts, then it can pass as art and not pornography.

However each area of the country and some times each individual judge will have their own take on what is pornographic and what isn't. Thus if a child wishes to model nude, then it is best that it be done with a trusted artist, with parental consent and supervision and with clear set boundaries as to the type of poses allowed.

If a child wants to model nude is it illegal?

Beauty has no age. The female nude has always been considered the utmost beauty. An artist uses canvas, stone or wood whereas the model uses her nude to form beautiful figure. This is pure art and should not be related to sex or porno. I like to watch art nude work on Met Art, met models and Errotica.

I have a 13 years old girl. I noticed her interest in art and modeling. I want to be prepared in case she asks me to allow her to pose for nude art modeling. I am inclined not to object provided:

1. work is only related to art
2. no sex
3. No explicit shots of genital area. This area to be obscure by shade, by her hands, a pillow or by posing her body to hide that area.

I would suggest that you practice some photagraphy with your child together to start. That way she can get used to it in a safe and secure environment without strangers. Begin with simple clothed photo shoots and see where it goes from there. If she desires to model nude, she will likely bring it up on her own if you are open to it, so there is no need to put any pressure on her in that regard.

O.k. nobody should exert pressure on a preteen whether she should or should not pose nude. But my question is that is there some legal and reputable pay sites that show art nude preteen models? I agree that I should start with Mary. She would feel safer with her dad. But I want to see more professional sites dealing with preteens. I believe that creating the suitable pose for the girl can hide her genital area and keeping it obscure. This is the most important issue. Adult girls can pose with very explicit details of their genital area. In some sites I saw them opening their lips and showing the details of the inside. This is very objectionable with a child. Such explicit images does not relate to beauty. Furthermore; the suitable pose is the essence of nude art photography.

When You Turn 14 , You can work in an:

* office,

* grocery store,

* retail store,

* restaurant,

* movie theater,

* baseball park,

* amusement park,

* or gasoline service station. You generally may not work in: communications or public utilities jobs, construction or repair jobs, driving a motor vehicle or helping a driver, manufacturing and mining occupations, power-driven machinery or hoisting apparatus other than typical office machines, processing occupations, public messenger jobs, transporting of persons or property, workrooms where products are manufactured, mined or processed, or warehousing and storage. In addition, you may not work any other job or occupation declared hazardous by the Secretary of Labor. Different rules apply to farms, and individual States may have stricter rules. http://www.youthrules.dol.gov/jobs.htm some people will hire you to do yard work, pet sitting, farm work, odd and end stuff. it's hard to hire someone below 16 because of the wage and labor department. you can only work 4 hours a day and if someone lets you work they might be afraid of you hurting yourself and sue. so it's hard unless you work for yourself with a yard service or some other kind of work you offer. if your parents are okay with it Do some business cards and pass them out in your local area. if your parents know some adults that need help with stuff get on the phone and call around. storage buildings can be built, garages can be cleaned out, fences put up, old building taken down, tree trimming, hedges cut, pressure wash house, driveways, sidewalks, clean gutters on houses, wash cars, wash window for houses and businesses, walk dogs, animal sitting while people on vacation, plant gardens, pick gardens, wash dogs, swimming pool upkeep, help with remodeling projects, etc.

12 to 13 year old girls cant really get any jobs right now except for babysitting. Look around your neighboorhood to find someone who needs help with there children. You should know something about childcare before you start.

well, i think a twelve year old cant do a lot but there is certain things that a 12- 13 girl could do like a paperround or helping around the house or even helping yr mum and babysitting from chelsie Marie

They could get a paper route (not in the winter to cold tried it).

If anyone would like to find some jobs that 12-14 year olds could get there is a wide veriety. In some snowshack's (shaved ice) they hire this age group. There is of course the usual babysitting. Helping around the house. You can look around the house for things that need to be done. Write on a piece of paper what you did. Have your parents look at it. They should give you some money for your accomplishments. What i did was basically every day do another big thing that my family was too lazy to accomplish. I did it myself and they gave me an allowance. Also when parents give their teens everyday money, to go the movies, or even just go to the mall. Kids, Don't spend every penny! If you save at least $5 from what your parents gave you, you will have alot of money. It might take a while, But truley it works. Please take some of my advice. It really helped me. Also, Kids if you are wanting a big thing that costs alot of money just sit down and talk to your parents. Your parents will proably make some sort of a deal that will help you get that much closer to what you want. Say that I wanted a bran new x-box. They are around $200. I asked my parents if i EARNED half of the money they will pay for the other half. Your parents love to see you kids accomplish things and i think that if you earn half of the money you will able to convince them that you have earned this money on your own. Now they will be so proud of you that they pay for the other half. I know kids it is hard to find a good way to make some money, if you just try these ways then you will probably be that much closer to getting what you want.

Well i thinkk that there arnt that many jobs a 12-13 year old girl can get but there are things like paper round or babysitting. i suggest you look around to see what people need help with and apply. like me i what a job to do to get me out of the house and i am cossidering taking up baby sitting. or you could even get a job as a dog walker!!

Well, what I do is go and get friends', family's, and my own's stuff and sell, sell, sell on eBay. Sure, that doesn't always work, but depending on what you're selling, it could go as high as $50 or higher! And of course the classic babysitting is always there. And chores could do real well too.

i think that there are a few jobs we can do at this age. firstly, there are the usual jobs like house jobs/babysitting/paper round ect. but there are also jobs like in the country as sumtimes farmers oranimal carers like a little help and they pay good too!! also you could try and get a work placement from your school they can be good if you fancy a job but don't really know if you will enjoy or understand it so try these out you can be surprised. helpful hint: DO NOT STAND THERE DOING NOTHING WITH YOUR HANDS IN YOUR POCKETS!!

some people are giving the answer: theres not really any jobs for 12 year olds. but......... OF CORSE THERE IZ! - -help your mum around the house - wash peoples cars - walk peoples dogs for them - if your at a yard with horses and stuff offer them - muck out for them - poo pick there field - wash there cars and all stuff like that. come on you have brains well start to use them!

well what kind of a job can a girl get? you could aways babysitt or walk the dog and you can also do newspapers.look around and see who might need help with there kids or who needs there dogs walk and stuff like that.you could also make things like cookies and cakes or even art stuff.so there are a lot of things girls at the age of 12 or 13 can do.

well, i really think that it all depends on how resposible you are. i mean some people can handle the job of taking care of 1 or maybe 2 kids. their are baby sitting courses that you can take that the Elliote hospital offers, I'm gunna take one soon ( sounds fun! ). well i hope you take this information in clearly. JUST BE CAREFUL!

when you are 13 years old you can get a Saturday job,the law says that you are aloud to work for five hours every Saturday, but when you are off school on holiday you are aloud to work up to 25 hours. you work in places like: 1. aricultural or horticultural work. 2. delivery of newspapers, journals and other printed material. 3. shop work, including shelf stacking. 4. hairdressing salons. 5. office work. 6. car washing by hand in a private residential setting. 7. in a cafe or restaurant 8. in riding stables. 9.working in hotels.

i hope this will help everyone.

There is a lot of things a girl from 12-13 years old can do. You should look in the newspaper in the classified ads and look for job offerings. Or if there is a place you would like to work at, you should call the store and ask them if they needed any extra help around the store for extra money. They can't say no but they can say yes. Try it! Pipe up the courage and get moving!

Word of advice: Never give up on what you wish to accomplish!

This HELPED SO MUCH! There was a hair dresser, and i felt so comfortable with her! I called, and she said she can make arrangements! YAY!

i think that there are not many jobs for a 12-13 year old but like the others said babysitting is a good one when i was 12 i babysat for my parents and for the familys around my nighborhood they are always looking for a babysitter that they know and can relie on so if you know a family that needs a babysitter you could be the one

Hey I know not many 12 to 13 year olds can get a job but if you really need one there is always your parents or te familys around you nighborhood or maybe there is someone at church that could use your help

I think thet 13 year old girls should be able to babysit at there neighbors house or around the neihbor hood atleast! If you are a little kid lover and really want a job than you should make sure you have enough expierience around a younger sibling or friend. Maybe you could also have a friend come to meet the parent and find out important information than work together to babysit! I'm also 13 and babysit at my neihbors house and I must say I enjoy babysitting little kids. I'm really good with kids anyway and kids really like me
