> 15-year-old Hassan... region of Pakistan. That is not underage work in Pakistan! "Respected" jurnalists should bother to do minimal research! I wish I had similar gig, instead of working for 50 cents/hour at building site! > Article 11.3 of the Constitution of Pakistan says " No child below the age of fourteen years shall be engaged in any factory or mine or any other hazardous employment. https://paycheck.pk/labour-laws/fair-treatment/minors-and-youth https://paycheck.pk/labour-laws/fair-treatment/minors-and-yo...

It’s not underage work in the US either.

  They are using 'underage' as a synonym for 'minor'. The article is not about the legality of employment.

    They are using “underage” because it baits your clicks. The article isn’t about a real problem, the problem it was trying to solve is how to keep their employees paid.

    “Underage” means the person is too young to do the work, whether in a legal or moral sense. A 15 year old doing computer work is neither.

      "Underage" doesn't really mean just that, it's ambiguous and arguably misused in this context. A 15 year old doing computer work is neither. That's just your own unrelated gloss on the article. Is this the greatest of title or word choice? Probably not. It's not particularly hard to figure out what it intends to say.

      Per the article, the companies' rules are to only hire persons 18+, but folks under 18 can easily lie and get hired. They may not be underage to work in construction, but they are technically "underage" for the company requirements.

  That may depend on the state and the time of day.

Depends on the nature of the work, though? > Hassan recalls moderating content while under 18 on UHRS that, he says, continues to weigh on his mental health. He says the content was explicit: accounts of rape incidents, lifted from articles quoting court records; hate speech from social media posts; descriptions of murders from articles; sexualized images of minors; naked images of adult women; adult videos of women and girls from YouTube and TikTok.
