The Australian Retailers Association has suggested introducing standardised rules across the country for hiring people as young as 13.
This month our Director of Global Industry and Strategy, Tomas Lopata, was interviewed by the ABC about the possible safety concerns surrounding children joining the workforce.
Where the Australian Retailers Association called for greater consistency across the country when regarding the employment of young people (meaning children as young as 13 could be joining the workforce), Tomas spoke to the possible consequences of this and ultimately highlighted the effect this could have on the safety of children and young people in the workplace.
