Occupational health and safety of children and young people

The protection of children and young people also extends to occupational health and safety: For example, the employment of children (content is only available in German) and full-time school-age youths is generally prohibited and only permitted in exceptional cases, for a short period and in the form of light, child-oriented work.

The Youth Employment Protection Act (content is only available in German) provides a clear framework for the employment of young people.
