Such work is considered harmful to the child and should therefore be eliminated. – Ages 5-11: At least one hour of economic work or 28 hours of domestic work per week. – Ages 12-14: At least 14 hours of economic work or 28 hours of domestic work per week. – Ages 15-17: At least 43 hours of economic or domestic work per week.
