Answers
Answer:
The hours of work and types of jobs that children and adolescents may perform are regulated at both the state and federal levels by a variety of agencies. In general, businesses involved in interstate commerce are subject to federal laws. Businesses not subject to federal regulation may be covered under state laws, which often differ from each other and from federal laws.
The principal federal law that addresses the protection of children at work is the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). This act allows for the regulation of the hours and types of work performed by individuals under the age of 16 so that their employment ''is confined to periods which will not interfere with their schooling and to conditions which will not interfere with their health and well-being"
