Can we think of other way's to make teenagers less attractive as part time employees?

If they don't get out of school until early evening, I would consider them mostly un-employable. Oh well, its not like they are in an economy that can support them... and surely this won't lead to a sense of entitlement later in life.

A first world education system should not prioritize the employability of minors in manual labor over their health and education.

The school of hard knocks is what most teenagers need. Otherwise they end up in college, in debt, no real skills, and a international communication degree with no job prospects.

The students who will succeed likely will be able to handle employment and school. Aren't most high schools now days, you show, you pass?
