On one hand, unfortunately, since the Industrial Revolution, we are faced with the tragic phenomenon of child labor. For example, in France in the 19th Century, many children had to work in factories and they could not go to school or play with their friends. Thus, to fight against this, in most nations, laws against hiring a child younger than eighteen are very strict so children are able to attend school and have a normal childhood. As this shows, children are protected by this law.

On the other hand, if you are above forty, you may face difficulties finding a well-paid job since, because of this law, employers tend to hire younger people. Consequently, it is expected that the rate of unemployment increases for older workers. For instance, it is held an entrance exam to hire eligible teacher by Ministry of Education last week.(<--Reword to: For instance, last week the Ministry of Education held an entrance exam to hire eligible teachers.") However, there was an age limit, so many older teachers could not take part which means they may lose their job despite being qualified. As this example shows, putting this law in some circumstances can bring with disadvantages.(<--Reword to: "As this example shows, this law also has disadvantages for older people.")
