SP4: Egypt-Working children

Child labour project, Egypt

The project was developed in response to the needs of working children, which were identified in Egypt during the 1980s and the beginning of the 1990s. Although the minimum age of employment is 14 years of age, young people who drop out of formal education may start vocational training at the age of 12 years. The law does prohibit the employment of young people under the age of 17 in hazardous occupations and includes laws to protect young workers against exploitation and harmful working practices, e.g. their working day is limited to six hours.
