 Ghant
|
1873 | Since education varies from province to province, there is wide variance in this area. Generally speaking, there are no restrictions on working part-time, while full-time employment can be gained when one is out of school. | ||||
 Latium
|
1977 | Until 1977, the leaving age and employment age were each set at 14. It wasn't until the enactment of Education Reform and Improvement Act that both categories were raised to 17. This, however, does not create a prohibition on employment of minors, only requires those over the age of 17 to complete their secondary education, enter full-time employment, or enlist in the Latin Armed Forces. There is no requirement to obtain a post-secondary or tertiary degree, though many individuals do. | ||||
 Lyncanestria

1986 | Until 1986, leaving age and employment age were both set at 15; the school leaving age was raised to 17 on the federal level with the School and Education Reform Act. Employment for children at 15 is confined to part-time work with eligibility for full-time employment acquired upon reaching 17, the age of majority. *States are still able to set a higher age in their jurisdiction. | ||||
 Ottonia
|
1950 | Because persons are considered to reach partial majority at 16 in Ottonia, the compulsory phase of schooling ends at 16. Secondary school continues until the age of 20; students who do not have a specific reason to leave education are strongly encouraged to complete Standard Education, and there are penalties for failing to do so, including an increased chance of being conscripted into either the Federal Guard or Service Corps.
Children between the ages of 13 and 16 can be employed in a business owned by their family for no more than 10 hours per week. At 16, a youth can seek part-time employment (no more than 20 hours per week) outside of a family business; they can apply for an exemption for full-time employment if they have terminated their schooling. | ||||
