Legal Age of ... in HK

2010-12-22 7:57 pm
May I know what would the legal age of:

Working part time (any kind)
Living alone (Renting a "shelter")

be in Hong Kong as of currently?

I have heard it was 16 or 18...but I ain't too sure for exact. Thanks for taking your precious time.

Oh and if possible, may I know does reaching the age of 16 have any (ostensible) significance of independence or anything in law?

1. The legal age to work in Hong Kong is 18 years and above. However, you are permitted to employ children and young persons aged 13 years - 17 years but there are restrictions on the type of work that children and young persons can perform. Children under the age of 15 would need to have their parents / guardians’ consent before taking up employment (well actually it is the employer that needs to have the consent).2. There is no law governing the age of living alone or renting a place of abode. However, most landlords would shy away from renting a place to youngsters for fear they would not be able to pay rent on time, or that they would abscond after a short period of tenancy, or that they would trash the place.3. Well if you are a girl then you can have normal sex with a man upon reaching 16 without the man being accused of “under-age sex”. Otherwise most “legal” things in HK would require reaching 18.
