Working children according to their age

Children which engage in work is wrong, but not completely wrong. First, we must determine the age of children according to their capability to work. Let we say that children is person which his age is between 5-17 years old. And we divide that age into age 5-14 and age 14-17 according to their capability to work.

In the age 5-14, children should not work. There are several reasons why they not allowed to work. First, they can’t take responsibility because their thinking pattern is not yet developed, so they can make good and wise decision. If children have responsibility in work, they can create danger to themselves and other people which work is related to the children’s job. Let’s we take example, about children who work in a factory as an machine operator, sometimes he is sad because his employer was angry with him because he can not finish the company’s target. Because he so sad, he forget to do what he should do. We can imagine if occur an accident, the machine is damage and burn, whole employee in that factory will be the victim. It is very dangerous. The next is, they should use their time to learn basic principles for living and still need a necessity of love from their parents. The main reason why children in that age should not to work, it is because their mental is still unstable. They can not accept pressure and stress. They are naturally doing what they like and do not like order from other people. And if they had trauma in their child time, it will affect their mental development.

I agree if children were allowed to work in age 14-17. It is because they have enough knowledge, and their thinking patterns were developing, so it is time for them to learn in real lesson about life. Mainly, children at this age can difference between right and wrong. So they can take responsibility and make a good decision. And they are ready to accept pressure and stress and also face various kinds of people. Most of people consider children at this age have reach mature or baligh. Most if children who work in this age have a valuable experience and a better responsibility and personality compared by other children at this age which is not work.

Mainly, children must not work, especially children in age 5-14. Because they not yet able to take a responsibility in a job. Children in age 14-17 were able and can be allowed to work if they want to because, in that age they relatively ready to take a job and responsibilities. Of course, children in that age must work in suitable job for them according to their capabilities. But in some rare case, children in the age 5-14 were allowed to work for their living if their parents was died or gone.
