Allow children to work from age 14, and also introduce a minimum wage .
During the holidays many teenagers are bored and are constantly on there phones constantly, and this can ruin their social life. By lowering the working age to 14 children are also able to get work experience, which would look good on their CV.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
It is already legal for 14 year olds to work within certain limits. We are therefore not sure what action you would like the UK Government or Parliament to take.

You could start a new petition if you would like these rules to be changed, for example if you would like under 16s to receive a minimum wage.
