+|  Labour law and education policy are the purview of state and territorial governments, not the federal government. As such, the minimum school leaving age and minimum full-time employment age vary by jurisdiction, with the latter almost always equal to or lower than the former. Workers may begin paying into social insurance programs as early as 14. The lowest school leaving age is 12 ([[Kyllera]]) and the highest is 18 ([[Fariva]]). The lowest full-time employment age at non-family, non-agricultural enterprises is 14 ([[Kyllera]]) and the highest is 17 ([[District of Coīnvra]]). Many Western Highlands states do not require Aboriginal Kiravite children to attend school, and children living on tribal land are exempt in states that do, although most tribes have their own compulsory education laws.
