Zaštita mladih ljudi na radu u smislu Direktive br. 94/33/EZ
Protection of young people at work within the meaning of the directive No. 94/33/EZ

Summary/Abstract: Young people have traditionally enjoyed special protection at work. The reason is their vulnerability. On the one hand their vulnerability is linked to their psychophysical immaturity and inability to recognize and protect themselves from the dangers and risks of the different types that accompany each type of work and, on the other, their vulnerability is related to the fact that they are at a stage of life when they acquire elementary education that will make it easier for them to get involved in all walks of life, and any work at that stage of life can interfere with their schooling. Directive 94/33 distinguishes between: young person; adolescent and child, and for each term connects appropriate measures of safety and health at work. In principle, the work of children (persons under 15 years of age, or young people still in the compulsory schooling process) is prohibited. On rare occasions children may do under combined work education and training programs light jobs and cultural and similar activities, based on individual work permits and under certain conditions to be regulated by national legislation. These exceptions to the principle of the prohibition of child labour have not been adequately transposed (in the spirit of Directive 94/33) into the law of Serbia and Montenegro. The work of young persons and adolescents (persons between 15 and 18 years of age) is licit, under the conditions laid down in Directive 94/33 and national legislation. The legislation of Serbia and Montenegro provides key labour-legal frameworks for the safe work of young persons and adolescents (minors) in the spirit of Directive 94/33.
