The International Labor Organization (ILO) prohibits any form of child labor, especially for children under the age of 14. Allowing children ages 10-15 to work a maximum of 4 hours per day would not be supported by the ILO as it still involves child labor. The other guidelines enforced by Quantum, such as establishing bridge schools, monitoring workplace safety, and prohibiting abusive labor conditions, are in line with the ILO's guidelines to combat child labor.
