Around the world, nearly 250 million children, about one in every six children aged 5 to 17, are involved in child labor. Children can be found in almost any economic sector. However, at a global level, most of them work in agriculture (70%). Approximately 2.4 million adolescents aged 16 to 17 years worked in the U.S. in 2006. Official employment statistics are not available for younger adolescents who are also known to work, especially in agricultural settings.

  • Around the world, nearly 250 million children, about one in every six children aged 5 to 17, are involved in child labor. Children can be found in almost any economic sector. However, at a global level, most of them work in agriculture (70%). Approximately 2.4 million adolescents aged 16 to 17 years worked in the U.S. in 2006. Official employment statistics are not available for younger adolescents who are also known to work, especially in agricultural settings. In 2006, 30 youth under 18 died from work-related injuries in the U.S. In 2003, an estimated 54,800 work-related injuries and illnesses among youth less than 18 years of age were treated in hospital emergency departments. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health reports that only one-third of work-related injuries are seen in emergency departments, therefore it is likely that approximately 160,000 youth sustain work-related injuries and illnesses each year. The highest number of teen worker fatalities occur in agricultural work and the retail trades, according to recent data. Across Europe, 18 to 24-year-olds are at least 50% more likely to be injured in the workplace than more experienced workers.
  • Nuori työntekijä on lainsäädännön mukaan työsuhteessa oleva alle 18-vuotias. Hänen palkkaamisestaan ja häntä koskevasta työsuojelusta on olemassa erillislainsäädäntöä. Laki nuorista työntekijöistä säätelee mm. työaikoja ja työsopimuksen solmimista. Asetuksin ja määräyksin säädetään nuorille haitallisista ja kielletyistä töistä. Työt voidaan niiden sallittavuuden kannalta jakaa kiellettyihin, vaarallisiin ja niihin töihin, joista ei ole erikseen säädetty sekä nuorille sopiviin kevyisiin töihin.
