My observation is that richer kids do find jobs more easily because they and their parents usually have plenty of connections. They usually do this so they would have more money to party :-).

Also regulation in many places in Europe effectively limits teenage employment - until I turned 18 I had to either get something like 9 documents or work for money paid under the table for someone I knew before.

Please remember that Europe is far from homogeneous, so observations may vary wildly. :-)
