While many Canadian teenagers and youths work before the age of 15 — delivering newspapers or babysitting, for example
I live in a big city, where a teenager delivering newspapers isn't a thing. All the newspapers are delivered by adults (read: immigrants) in cars. Hell, even finding a teenager working in fast food is rare. Anyone from a small town have a different experience?
It didn't end in the 90s, that's BS, at least where I was living. When I was in HS in the early 2000s, McDonalds was 95% teenagers, as were all the similar jobs. Now it's 0%. The transition was way more recent at least from what I saw. Is this Ontario?

I grew up in a town of 600 and live currently in a town of a little bit over 1000. Delivering newspaper isn't a thing anymore. The only way you can make money as a teenager in a small town nowadays is either by helping out on a farm, mowing grass/shoveling snow for senior citizen or babysitting.
Much different here. Mcdonalds/ tims is staffed by lots of 15-18 year olds and a dozen or so fulltime ‘lifers’. Newspapers are delivered by kids and their parents.

Also at every single fast food place there are immigrants, who barely speak English, working every job.
If a teen even wanted a job there they’d have a difficult time getting hired.
