How old can I work?

The legal minimum working age in China is 16 years old. When it is really necessary to recruit literary and art workers, athletes and artists under the age of 16, it shall be approved by the parents or other guardians of minors and reported to the labor administrative department at or above the county level (including the county level). Child labor refers to teenagers and children under the age of 16 who have labor relations with units or individuals and engage in income-generating labor or individual labor. 16- 18 is an underage worker. 16 years old can go out to work by himself. If the employer illegally recruits minors under the age of 16, the labor administrative department shall order them to make corrections and impose a fine; If the circumstances are serious, the business license shall be revoked by the administrative department for industry and commerce. Child labor refers to underage children or young workers. The laws of different countries have different provisions on the age of majority. In China, child labor refers to 16 children or young workers. The law forbids the use of child labor. Some special industries need to recruit young workers under the age of 16, which must be approved by the relevant departments, and special protection should be given in terms of working hours and prohibition of engaging in jobs harmful to health.

Legal basis:

Article 15 of the Labor Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) prohibits employers from employing minors under the age of 16. When recruiting minors under the age of 16, literary, artistic, sports and special arts and crafts units must abide by the relevant provisions of the state and guarantee their right to receive compulsory education.
