Question

true or false
according to the esc, if you are 12 years of age and under, you are only able to be employed in an artistic endeavour
true
false

Explanation:

Identify the regulatory context

The question references the ESC, which stands for the Employment Standards Code (commonly referring to jurisdictions like Alberta, Canada, or similar labor standards).

Analyze youth employment rules

Under standard ESC regulations for young workers, children under 12 years of age (or 12 and under in some jurisdictions) are generally restricted from most types of employment. However, they are permitted to work in artistic endeavours (such as film, theater, or television) with proper parental consent and a permit.

Evaluate the statement

The statement says: "According to the ESC, if you are 12 years of age and under, you are only able to be employed in an artistic endeavour." Under the Alberta Employment Standards Code, for example, individuals under 15 are classified as adolescents or children. Children under 12 can indeed only be employed in an artistic endeavour (with a permit). Therefore, the statement is legally accurate.

Answer:

• True (Correct answer)
• False
