Question

are there jobs for kids 13 years old cuse in mexico they do and its not fair we need money to

Answer 1

School should be a 13 year old's job

Answer 2

Most states restrict employment prior to age 16 and usually the youngest ages allowed is 14 with very limited hours provided the school system grants a work permit.

The American labor force, a hundred years ago, removed children from the workforce at least in part because they were no longer necessary and don't provide sufficient value to the employer.

Let me provide an example, the average American produces around $80 per hour worth of product and gets about half of that as income, the rest goes to other things such as unemployment insurance, machinary and equipment and so on.

Most teens can produce at most $7 per hour worth of product because they lack the training and skills to produce the higher amount. The whole purpose of school is to train you to think in productive ways. The more productive you are, the more valuable you are, the more you will be paid. Certain jobs require significant training to be that productive. For example, it takes four years of college to become an engineer and even then you are basically an apprentice for three years, but the pay can be well over $100,000 depending upon the field.

Likewise, there are fields that pay well without college. Generally these are very hazardous fields where there is a reasonable likelikhood of death or severe injury such as losing a leg or arm. Coal mining is a good example.

Also, the children in Mexico get a small fraction of what an American worker gets. This, again, goes back to productivity. The more you produce, the more you are paid. If you are working at 13 then you can't be learning and you get trapped for the rest of your life at a 13 year old's wage scale.

Thirteen year olds do need money and it isn't fair, but fairness ends on the playground. It is not part of the adult world. It happens, and we love it when it happens, but when it doesn't happen that is just life. Wanting to work is wanting to move into the adult world which is unfair and can be quite rough.

You need to speak to your parents. You may be able to do chores that permit your parents to be more productive, such as doing laundry or mowing the lawn.

Answer 3

The only reason KIDS work in Mexico is because it is so poor.Trust me I live about 200 miles from the border and I know through my grandparents and freinds from school who were raised and born in Mexico.

I am partial Mexican,but that doesnt mean I am ok with the goverment of Mexico.

Answer 4

in Mexico 9 year olds can work ,but it is not always voluntary,
and they do not get a lot of money
arent there a lot of 13 year old paper boys and supermarket packers in the USA
and what about lawn mowers

Answer 5

yea... chores. your parents should provide everything you need (not want) and in exchange they can require you to do chores or work for free.

you can try negoiating pay for chores or extra chores. which is one of the few legal way for a 13 yr old in the us. you could also try baby sitting... but your probably to young.

in america or at least california you have to be 15 to get a workers permit to begin working.
