Also, there is the consideration of character building and the learning of (time and money) management from having a part-time job. |

| Message | The country currently has about 9,651,816 unemployed adults. I believe every job should be staffed by an adult until we have a shortage of manpower. |
| Date | 08:36:56, April 26, 2008 CET | From | Technocrat Bloc | To | Debating the Work Allowance |
| Message | Fair enough. However, I have my doubts as to the % of unemployed workforce adults as being representative of the unemployment figures. This number would also count the disabled and full time students (and probably part-time workers) as being (technically) unemployed. |
| Date | 12:24:04, April 27, 2008 CET | From | Social Democratic People Party-SDPP | To | Debating the Work Allowance |
| Message | minorile job is a plague, the Rights of the minors are untouchable and not negotiable |
| Date | 12:51:56, April 27, 2008 CET | From | Technocrat Bloc | To | Debating the Work Allowance |
| Message | The rights of minors include freedom to decide their own actions. This proposal allows minors to choose to work and they are still protected by any exploitation by additional regulation. |
