Jobs for teenagers

About half of 16 – and 17 – year – olds in the UK have got jobs, and three quarters of this age group also go to school. They do part – time jobs before or after school and at weekends. The most common jobs are babysitting (very popular with girls) and paper rounds (popular with boys). Cleaning and working in a shop are also popular jobs.

In the UK, school students are not allowed to work more than two hours on a school day, or more than twelve hours in total during a school week. They are not allowed to work before 7a.m. or after 7p.m. (but babysitters can work later).

Teenagers do part – time jobs because they want to earn some money. However, they don’t usually earn very much. In the UK, there is a minimum wage for adults: £5.52 an hour. For 16 – and – 17 – year – olds, it is £3.40 an hour. For children under 16, there is no minimum wage, so many teenagers work for £2 or £3 an hour.
