In the UK, children can usually work part-time from 14 (in some areas, it is from 13). Many children do part-time jobs before or after school and at the weekend. The most common jobs are babysitting (taking care of babies) and paper rounds (sending newspapers to people’s homes). Cleaning and working in a shop are also popular jobs.
Students can work for up to two hours every weekday and on Sunday. If they want to work on Saturday or during school holidays, the number of working hours depends on their ages. And they cannot work before 7 a.m. or after 7 p.m. (but babysitters can work later).
Properly regulated (规范的) part-time work is a good way to help students learn skills and teach them how to work with other people and manage their money.
