In Section 3 of the Hong Kong
Employers and Servants Ordinance, 1902 (copy
within) it is prescribed that any person over
the age of 16 years may enter into a contract
of service, from which I presume it may be
inferred that no person under the age of 16 is
allowed to do so. A contract of service is
defined as meaning "any contract, whether in
writing or verbal, to work personally for any
period of time".
Under the by-laws scheduled to the
Hong Kong Factories and Workshops Ordinance,
1937 (copy below No. 1) it is laid down that
no child under the age of 14 years shall be
employed in any industrial undertaking (this is
in accordance with the International Convention
on the subject) or in any dangerous trade, and
that no young person under the age of 16 years
shall be employed in any dangerous trade

except with the written consent of the
Protector. There are other provisions regarding
the employment of young persons under the age
of 16 years.
It would however seem that in view
of the 1902 Ordinance no young person under the
age of 16 years may be employed at all, since
any employment must surely imply a written or
verbal contract? ontract?
? Some amendment of the 1902
Ordinance is needed.
