There are more employed minors/ Experts: Most of them work illegally

The number of working minors has increased. 171 were hired in 2022, 43 more than in 2021. The highest number of hires was in 2018, with 329.

Minors at work over the years:

2017-309

2018- 329

2019- 255

2020- 158

2021- 128

2022-171

According to the labor code, minors can be employed from the age of 16, but the types of work they can perform and the hours they can work are defined.

"It is forbidden to employ minors under the age of 16, but with the exception of cases where children between the ages of 15 and 16 can work in light work during school holidays, or this group of children can be the subject of a training professional. Under the age of 15, these children are allowed to participate in cultural and artistic activities. Children from the age of 16-18 years and the other age group of 15-16 years are allowed to work in light work that does not affect safety and health with work contracts," said Fatbardha Llapa from the State Labor Inspectorate.

Experts say that these rules are not always enforced. In 20% of cases minors were employed not according to legal regulations.

"There are many entities that abuse this part, employ children under the age of 18 and do not declare the fact that they are children and it is a little easier to say to camouflage as employment. When you employ a child, the salary level should be equal, but there is always room for abuse and the fact that they are employed has a need not to be playing but to work," said employment expert, Eranda Ymerali.

Minors in Albania are mainly employed in bars, restaurants, hotels, but also in sectors such as construction or illegal work. Tirana and Durrës maintain the highest number of employments./ Euronews Albania
