THE LEGAL STATUS OF MINORS IN BUSINESS ACTIVITIES

This article describes the current problems of the legal status of minors in entrepreneurial activity. The emergence in the civil legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan of the institution of "emancipation" of minors, characteristic of the rule of law of developed countries, allowing minors to engage in entrepreneurial activity upon reaching the age of sixteen with the consent of legal representatives is controversial from the point of view of labor law. In theoretical approaches to understanding the legal personality of minors, disclosure is provided. In the work, the author notes that without providing the child with a relatively free regime of entrepreneurial activity, bringing him closer to the general regime of entrepreneurship, such activity cannot be a condition for emancipation, since it does not meet all the necessary criteria and is significantly limited by the control of persons exerting influence.

The article highlights the moments of support and training of entrepreneurs, which are the main tool for the development of small and medium-sized businesses in the country.

The author also introduces the legal aspects related to the issues of transactions by minors and entrepreneurship. In general, it contains issues of protecting the interests of minors and preventing their use in the field of transactions and entrepreneurship, recommendations for preventing possible negative consequences when making transactions or engaging in entrepreneurial activities by minors.
