US EditionNew York Ends Paper Routes for Younger Kids, but the Job Has Mostly Faded Away for Teens
- In May 2025, New York state amended its child labor regulations to prohibit individuals younger than 14 from working on paper delivery routes.
- This update ended a decades-old carveout that previously allowed children as young as 11 to deliver newspapers.
- The change was enacted amid a wider revision of child labor regulations, which simplified minor employment procedures and raised penalties for violations.
- According to employment lawyer Allan Bloom, the era when children were employed to deliver newspapers by tossing them onto doorsteps has now ended.
- Though paper routes remain a traditional job, industry leaders like Diane Kennedy report no current use of youth carriers in New York newspapers.
