Why is Qatar so ancient? in other countries they allow any age to work according to their will, if it's forced,then that is child abuse. but some people like me, that live in Doha is willing to work, as part time. Which is most likely not gonna happen. i need some source if income, im INDEPENDENT :D
ANY ONE FEELIN THE SAME ?

Minors between the ages of 15 and 18 may be employed with the approval of their parents or guardians. However, younger non-Qatari children sometimes work in small family-owned businesses. Education is compulsory through age 15. While the laws governing the minimum age for employment of children are not strictly enforced, child labor, either Qatari or foreign, is rare.

Umm Lan 311 If you look at her profile you will see she is younger than 18 and telling her to leave is an idiotic response. Not everyone can pack up and leave everytime they are unhappy about something.Summer holidays are coming up and not all parents are able to go home so these youngsters are looking for something to keep them occupied and make a bit of pocket money at the same time.
