Abstract
The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development (MHRSD) has identified certain professions and jobs that pose risks to the health, safety, and morals of juveniles. These include working in mines and quarries, extracting mineral materials from underground, engaging in industries with health risks, participating in life-threatening races, and any work that exposes juveniles to moral and psychological problems based on its location and circumstances. It is mandated that the minimum age for juveniles to undertake these works should be at least seventeen years
