THE LAW ON EMPLOYING CHILDREN
Whilst there is no minimum age for employment in Hong Kong, no person under 14 years of age may be employed in industrial undertakings, dangerous trades, licensed premises or ships. No female under 18 years of age may be employed, between 8 am and 6 pm in licensed premises in which liquor is sold. Young persons aged 14 and 15 may work 8 hours a day in industry with a one hour break after 5 hours of
continuous work. No overtime is allowed.
