By Djiboutian law, the standard workweek is 40 hours, often spread over six days. These regulations affect only the small fraction of the population as most people are working in the informal sector, or are unemployed. The minimum age for child labor is 14 years old, although the lack of labor inspectors means that compliance is left largely to market forces. The government also lacks inspectors to enforce workplace safety standards, therefore many workers have hazardous work conditions. |
