15 Years Old: Old Enough to Work as a Domestic Helper?

Please advise: In the case of employing a 15-year-old child as a household helper, is it against the law? Is a person who is 15 years old allowed to perform this work?

At Article 88 of Decree 145/2020/ND-CP guiding the Labor Code on working conditions and labor relations, it is stipulated:

Domestic workers are workers as defined in Clause 1, Article 3 of the Labor Code who enter into written labor contracts to perform the tasks specified in Clause 1, Article 161 of the Labor Code.

And at Clause 1, Article 3 of the Labor Code 2019, it is stipulated:

  1. A worker is a person who works for an employer under an agreement, is paid a wage, and is subject to the management, administration, and supervision of the employer.

The minimum working age for a worker is 15 years old, except in cases stipulated in Section 1, Chapter XI of this Code.

=> Therefore, according to the aforementioned regulations, workers aged 15 and above are eligible to work as domestic helpers.

Respectfully.
