Hi Lina,
As stated on page 84 of A Journey to Citizenship, 'the earliest legal age a child can do paid work is 13.' This is a clear fact you can learn for the test.
However, you need to be careful with the phrasing of the question here. The materials also state in other places that
usually children don't work before 14, There are also exceptions for some kinds of performance work. The example they give is modelling.
To give you some examples:
Q: What is the earliest legal age a child can take on paid work in the UK?
A: 13
Q: When do children usually start taking up paid work in the UK?
A: 14
Q: Can children do any kind of paid work before the age of thirteen?
A: Yes, but only modelling and other kinds of performance work.
As ever, I would recommend that you look over the post -
confusing facts in the study materials - and make sure you understand all of these conflicting issues.
