Book Description
The 1997 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY) provided data on the employment experience and other characteristics of a nationally representative sample of 9,022 young men and women who were between 12 and 16 years old on December 31, 1996. The NLSY focused on four aspects of youth's lives: overall employment; employment while in school; educational experiences; and home characteristics. According to the NLSY, female youths were much less likely than male youths to hold an employee job at some time while age 14 or 15 and were more likely to engage in freelance jobs. From age 14 to age 15, youths moved toward more formal work arrangement: 24% of youths held an employee job at age 14 versus 38% at age 15. Twenty-eight percent of youths aged 14-16 worked during school and summer months, and 16% of youths who had attended ninth grade or higher in 1997, had been involved in gifted and talented programs. Youths between the ages of 12 and 15 spent an average of 17 hours per week watching television but only 11 hours doing homework or reading for pleasure combined. Working youths watched less television than their nonworking counterparts did.

Book Description
In Massachusetts, a 12-year-old girl delivering newspapers is killed when a car strikes her bicycle. In Los Angeles, a 14-year-old boy repeatedly falls asleep in class, exhausted from his evening job. Although children and adolescents may benefit from working, there may also be negative social effects and sometimes danger in their jobs. Protecting Youth at Work looks at what is known about work done by children and adolescents and the effects of that work on their physical and emotional health and social functioning. The committee recommends specific initiatives for legislators, regulators, researchers, and employers. This book provides historical perspective on working children and adolescents in America and explores the framework of child labor laws that govern that work. The committee presents a wide range of data and analysis on the scope of youth employment, factors that put children and adolescents at risk in the workplace, and the positive and negative effects of employment, including data on educational attainment and lifestyle choices. Protecting Youth at Work also includes discussions of special issues for minority and disadvantaged youth, young workers in agriculture, and children who work in family-owned businesses.
