One US state has moved to relax its child labour laws. Here's how the proposed changes compare to those in Australia's states and territories.
There is no minimum working age in NSW but restrictions on when and for how long children can work do apply.
If a child is working in a performance or entertainment-related job, how many hours and days they can work each week depends on their age bracket.Here, the minimum working age is generally considered to be 13. It's 11 for some forms of delivery work, like delivering newspapers, but children must be supervised.
While children of any age can work in the entertainment industry, there are restrictions on hours and days that change depending on how old they are. Those aged 10 through 12 can deliver newspapers or advertising material as long as they are accompanied by a parent when doing their job and do not start before 6am or finish later than 7pm.
