Status of Child Labor Practices and Minimum Age for Employment: The labor law prohibits employment of persons under the age of 15 and has special provisions for employing those 15 to 18 years of age. The Federal Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs is responsible for enforcing the regulations. Other regulations permit employers to employ only adult foreign workers. The UAEG does not issue work permits for foreign workers under the age of 18 years.
