Bill: Child Labour
Details
Submitted by[?]: Royal Party of Aldegar
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: June 3870
Description[?]:
In order to give more incentives for children to enter the job market we must first make the market open for underage people. Our country needs more workforce and every family needs an adittional income. We have concluded on the following regulations and incentives to go with the child labour law: 1) A total of 5 hours a day and 3 days a week is permitted by law for non-adults to work. 2) All adult regulations apply to the non-adults also, and the Department of Working Conditions is permitted by law to investigate every business, and oversee it, to ensure that the regulations are not violated 3) Only non-adults above the age of 14 can seek employment. 4) Non-adults pay only 1% taxes on their payment, in an effort to help families grow a steadier income. 5) The new sub-division of the Department of Working Conditions, named Informational Division for non-adults, will be created in order to inform all young workers about the potential risks of any job they may encounter and furthermore, help them find a job they can do. |

Message | What a preposterous bill, that only proves this government tp be as backward thinking as our current political system. Leader of the Opposition Rahim Mazanderani |

Message | This bill is intriguing. We think anyone should be able to work, provided they have the ability to offer full consent. So the question is, "where do we set the barrier?", or "At what age should one be able to make a legally binding choice, with full knowledge of the consequences?" Perhaps 14 is a bit too low, 16 would probably be better. However, at this point, it would be much easier to just lower the age at which one is considered an 'adult' to 16. What are your thoughts on this? Thanks, The Social Rationalist Party |

Message | Families have terrible financial problems, some of them due to the necessary elevated taxation. By providing them a small extra income, they will benefit, and our work force will rise also. New opportunities are all around us fellow countrymen. We should give them a chance. Of course there are dangers as suggested by the esteemed colleagues of the Social Rationalist Party. This is why I have decided to make a new sub-division of the Department of Working Conditions, named Informational Division for non-adults, which will inform all young workers about the potential risks of any job they may encounter and furthermore, help them find a job they can do. Ministry of Health and Social Services, Satrap Dara Sopheap |

Random fact: Cabinet ministers who disagree seriously with the head of government would usually be expected to resign. Parties within the cabinet may attempt to manoeuvre to replace the head of government though, for example by proposing a new cabinet bill or voting for an early election. |
