Abstract: International norms have largely shaped Turkish labor law regulations for children and young workers. However, various regulatory problem areas have emerged from the number of children not covered by the labor law legislation. The fact that the scope of labor law protections excludes most working children exacerbates the problem. Nevertheless, differing regulations governing working children are problematic as there is no appropriate standard regulation with an equitable approach to working children. This study examines the social law problems arising from using child labor in working life. The findings show that the lack of standard regulations for child labor leads to child labor exploitation and intensifies child labor problems.
