New labor law restricts child work
The new labor law in Egypt outlines a set of measures to protect children from exploitation. It prohibits the employment of children under the age of 15, and permits training for those who have reached 14, provided that it does not interfere with their education. The law also specifies that children's working hours should not exceed 6 hours per day, with a ban on night work and work on holidays. Rest periods of at least one hour must be provided. Employing children in hazardous jobs or those that harm their health or interfere with their education is strictly forbidden. Penalties are imposed for illegally employing children or engaging them in work that could harm their mental or physical well-being. Additionally, the law mandates the issuance of identification cards that certify children's training, along with specific procedures for obtaining them. It also prohibits continuous work for more than four hours and bans work between 7 PM and 7 AM.
