Children 18 and above should start working but this does not mean they should stop studying. It's high time they start taking responsibility and not depend on parents and also know the value of money.

in my opinion, children should work part time during the age of 18-21 along with their studies and full time after they finish their education. working part time not only will give them real life work experience but also help them in finding a job easily.

I think that before the age of 18 are very tender years for children. I want my girls to have an education so that they may have economic independance. When getting a education that is exactly what my children should concentrate on. If children are fortunate enough to not have to work. I do however believe that there's nothing wrong with a summer job.

i personally feel that children should start working at the age of 18-21b'cause that is an age where a child could understand the value of money and take up responsibility. hence i believe that it is very imp to keep them busy in todays times to avoid them from getting into wrong company though i strongly beleive that they should also enjoy thier teens and this age they could take up part time initialy while they could study and do various courses to up date their knowledge and to meet these demands you need money and they could earn that money and use it to their best in the right way and also lend a helping hand to their parents in todays times of inflation.

Well I personally feel that it is quite advisable to work after 21 as to work at the age when mental ability and knowledge is fully grown and I dont think a person below aged 21 has matured outlook before he has actually passed out the college and experiance the World..Well he can give tutions and small classes as a hoby but working should be done after the age of 21....Till then The child has to be moulded and should be given secondary higher education...

Actually our education now is such that we spoil our children for first 20 years and then in next twenty years we spend in rectifying them. Work is pleasure if done without fear of responsibility like in games. We fail to provide such opportunities to our children in society. Work culture should be promoted from the very beginning in order to be independent to have a taste of success in early age.

There is nothing wrong in children working from 18 yrs onwards as long as it is a temp job and not at the cost of their education. In my view children should start working after they complete their basic education atleast which is from 21yrs or above or as the case may be.

Book education is not all. One should learn through experience. The right age for this would be from their completion of teens.When they settle for a job after education, their work experience will only add more value. They also will realise the value of money early in life. So 18 - 21 is the best bet.

Earn while you learn is the best policy. Children should not be deneyed an oppertunity to quench their thurst for education. But they should not be the dependents on their parents till they finish education. Parents should support till the basic education completes and there after, one should manage by themselves.

I believe that education in the life is one of the most important things for the development of the children. Though there is no end for knowledge, Children should be given education till the age of 21yrs., it may be academic or other (like Courses etc.) In this period the child should take education without doing the job. This helps them to concentrate properly on the studies. However between 18-21 yrs. the child may do vacation jobs or part time job by which the practicality also come in the Child and he/she can earn some income for him/her, but at least till 21 yrs priority should be given to education & other development like physical etc. of the child instead on putting them on job.

Children should start working when they are as young as 18, because it teaches them the vlaue of money. When I went to college in the US, my parents did not have that much money, so I had to work part-time (ofcourse it was on campus) and that really taught me the value of hardwork and money.

All said and done,it is better that they work after they complete their studies.Working and earning during their studies,many a times instills a sense of more freedom to do what they want even if it means to involve in activities that they should not be involved. Though working during their studies to pay for their tutions and other related requirements should be encouraged.

I believe that children esp. girl children in India should be encouraged to start working on parttime jobsor summerjobs after the age of 18.

This will also enhance their power to raise a better future for their children.

18 is an appropriate time to work. They should do part time work or summer jobs to get to know the adult work environment. And get into a fulltime job only after they have finished their college. This way they have work experience by the time they graduate and will help them immensely to get jobs. It also helps to make a confident start in their career. I speak from experience.
