 at a younger age is that people during that age are not sufficiently well-prepared for the

Firstly

 when they have not reached 18 yet, teenagers are not fully aware of the society around them, making them prone to deception and abuse by their older employees. For examples, they can be forced to

 longer hours with lower salary if they do not know much about working regulations.
Besides
, they have not been equipped with appropriate knowledge and employable skills in the related fields, which made them less potential from the perspective of the employers. Those employees can

Furthermore
