| Message | Teenagers working certain jobs to prepare themselves for entering adulthood would still be allowed. This bill bans child labour, which is associated with young children having to work to support themselves and their families. In addition, teenagers should be focusing on their education rather than having to work to support their families. |

| Message | Child labour is children (anyone under 21 in Malivia) working for money. we agree tha tthe main focus for children should be education and care should be taken to avoid exploitation, thus the reason why child labor is more regulated then adult labor. |

| Random fact: In order for a Cabinet bill to pass, more than half of the legislature must vote for it and all of the parties included in the proposed Cabinet must support it. If your nation has a Head of State who is also the Head of Government, then the party controlling this character must also vote for the bill, since the Head of Government is also a member of the Cabinet. If any of these requirements are not met, the bill will not pass. |
