What Age Can You Get a Job in Korea?

Published in Korean Employment Law 1 min read

In Korea, the minimum age to legally get a job is 15 years old, with some restrictions applying to those under 18.

According to provided reference, teenagers under 15 years old and those under 18 in Middle School are not allowed to work. This rule provides that:

  • Minimum Age: You generally need to be at least 15 years old to work in Korea.
  • Middle School Restriction: Even if you are older than 15, you cannot work if you are still enrolled in Middle School and under 18 years old.

This means a 14-year-old cannot legally work in Korea, nor can a 16-year-old still attending middle school.
