Article 32

• Every young person has the right to be protected from harmful work and economic exploitation.
• Governments must do everything to protect this right.
• Governments must set a minimum age at which young people can work, and they must introduce rules to protect young people in work.

Young people in the UK can work part-time from the age of 13 so long as they are doing light work. They can work full-time from the age of 16 years.
