The FLSA's restrictions on child labor apply to children younger than 18. Children aged 18 and 19 are not considered to be minors under the FLSA and are subject to different restrictions than those under 18. Restrictions on hazardous occupations and time limitations do apply to 16- and 17-year-olds. Different restrictions apply to children aged 14 and 15, but they may still work in certain jobs associated with interstate commerce with permits or waivers. The requirement for working papers or permits varies by state.
