Why do the amish get a pass on child Labour in the US?
In: Other
There are exceptions to child labor laws for all family owned businesses, not just farms. As long as other needs are being met including education and the hours aren’t insane then children can work in family businesses. Children can also work in minimum wage exempt agriculture with parent permission even if the parents are not the owners (basically small non corporate farms). There are some additional state laws that may limit hours or job type but at the federal level, kids can work almost unlimited hours in family business as long as the job is not dangerous and the kid gets mandatory education.
