WORKING CHILDREN
Over a million school children in Britain have part-time jobs. The number is growing, too.
More and more teenagers are working before school, after school or on weekends. Most
deliver newspapers or help in shops, but there are other jobs for teenagers, too. Some work
in restaurants and a lot of Asian children (Britain has a large Asian population) make clothes
in factories. They do it to make money, but sometimes they don't earn very much. Some
jobs pay less than £ 1 per hour. And that's not the only problem. Young people often work
for very long hours. The law says 'Children under fifteen can only work five hours on
Saturdays and twenty-five hours a week.' In fact, thousands of thirteen- and fourteen-year-olds work for thirty or even forty hours per week.
"It's a serious problem," says one Birmingham teacher. “The kids work in the evenings,
then they are tired the next day at school. How can they have a job and do well in their
exams? It's impossible."
