Working Age Laws

Decent Essays
I believe the working age laws everywhere in the world should be changed, here are 3 reasons why the working age laws should change.

The first reason is, in certain places there are age limits for when you have to start paying for things, and if you can’t get a job you wouldn’t have money to pay for whatever you need to pay for. For example, paying for the bus, in a place like Toronto once you turn 13 you have to start paying for the bus but, the working age in Toronto is 16 so how are you supposed to get the money? You may ask.

Also, people start wanting more responsibilities, and people start wanting things that their parents won't get for them so it would be nice to have another option, or if their parent don’t have money at

    The current legal drinking age restriction is 18. This was set in 1970s because during the Vietnam War, they believed that if a person could be conscripted to fight and die for their country, they should also have the right to drink alcohol.

Today’s society focuses more on looks than anything else that should actually matter.

    One of the more common claims of those in favour of right-to-work laws is that they will create jobs and spur economic growth. The Ontario Conservatives’ white paper states that union choice laws will attract businesses and expand the economy. The Ontario Conservatives’ white paper also claims that over a 10 year period (2001 to 2010) states with right-to-work laws experienced 11 percent more economic growth than states without right-to-work laws. These claims mirror those proposed by academic supporters of right-to-work laws. For example, Richard Vedder, an American economist, proposes that between 1980 and 2010 states with right-to-work laws saw their GDP grow by 166.06 percent, whereas non-right-to-work states only saw their GDP grow…
