[Hygienic assessment of early employment of adolescents during out-of-school hours].

The paper deals with the study of out-of-school working activity of a thousand 7-11 form pupils from Moscow schools by using an anonymous questionnaire. It has been found that as high as 25% of the schoolchildren regularly do different kinds of work. There are a lot of violations of the labour code as to the duration of their working day and the nature of their work. Early employment of adolescents contributes to the formation of bad habits in them. Concurrent study at school and work in the existing forms result in deterioration of their health.
