    Which country legally allows child labor and driving at 15?

    I’m not @ShittyBeatlesFCPres, but New Zealand did when I was 15, and I’m sure it’s far from the only country like that. They have since raised it to 16.

    When I was 15 we could legally leave school, work during school hours (younger kids could work but only after school), drive a car, have a gun licence. 16 was the age of consent, 18 was the age of signing legal contracts and drinking in bars (all children can legally drink alcohol in New Zealand, just not in bars and they can’t buy it).
