The Child and Adolescent Code establishes that the minimum age for performing any type of light work in Peru is 12-years-old. For other working modalities, the minimum required age is 14.
“As an exception, authorization will be granted after the age of 12, provided that the work to be performed does not harm their health or development, or interfere with or limit their attendance at educational centers and allow them to participate in orientation or vocational training programs”, El Comercio wrote, adding that the working hours must not exceed four on a daily basis, or 24 weekly.
