Proportion and number of children aged 5–17 years engaged in child labour, by sex and age
The incidence of children aged 5-17 years working is low in Singapore. This is attributed to primary school education being compulsory for all Singapore Citizens and the high net enrolment ratio for secondary education in Singapore. Singapore's Employment (Children and Young Persons) Regulations state that no child who is below the age of 13 years shall be employed in any occupation. The type of work children and young persons can do is governed by Part 8 of the Employment Act and the Employment (Children and Young Persons) Regulations.
