It prepares them for the real world buy experiencing what the job market is like. Also if parents are trying to teach them responsibility with their earnings, they begin to learn about paying bills and having to save their money.
As far as free time goes, it teaches them that they must organize their time in order to get everything done that they need to or wish to.

It mainly helps them realize that your education is the top priority in life because most jobs you will have in high school will not be something that you want to make a career out of. But then again, maybe it will. Only experience will allow for a clear objective into how the business world works. Reguardless of the position. Responsibility will soon develop when you are earning to contribute to something that you either enjoy to do, or any basic necessities of life. In short, being able to get things that you work hard for by earning,and paying for it yourself. Paying bills. Basically the real world unfortunately, revolves around money, and no matter how little, or how much you make, everyone and just about everything you do costs. Any free time will be few and far between but studying and grades take precedence over a few bucks for now. Because with a good education, you can basically be what you aspire to be. Then you can have all of the free time and money to pay bills that you desire. Sound like a responsibility developer?

It teaches them to "own" specific tasks they must complete for that job and that laying around won't get those things done.
It teaches them the value of a paycheck and that "money doesn't grow on trees". It teaches them to save the money they just got instead of buying that new whatever that just came out.
It makes them responsible by helping out with family expenses once in a while (without being asked to).
It helps future employers who want to know if you would be a good "fit" in their company. The more examples of what you are like as an employee, the better.

So they can see what work is...earn their own money and take responsibility for themselves by contributing in a productive way. It uses up their time when they are working and the real world is about working to earn the werewithal to exist minus parents handouts..

Here is an example my first job as a teen ager I worked for this program and they had us cleaning up areas of our community and a community center we painted, swept and did odd jobs. It taught me about responsibility and gave me some skills I would not have had before that. It kept us out of trouble and I also made some new friends.

If it matters, it looks good on college applications. It helps develop personal responsibility because it's usually the first situation where kids have to speak for and fight for themselves. In school, parents will show up to fight about bad grades or whatever, but few parents will show up at a kid's work to argue about something unfair.

it allows them to earn their own money and for them to learn how to spend it wisely. also, if you get a job that is relevant to what you want to do after college that can also help you in the long run.
