Hello, We thank you for using the InterroGE service, here is the result of our research: there does not seem to be legislation on the legal minimum age from which a minor can go out alone on the street with the consent of the parents. Article 301 of the Swiss Civil Code merely states: “The child shall obey his father and mother, who shall grant him the freedom to shape his life according to his level of maturity and to take into account his opinion as far as possible in important matters.” Some cantons have set a deadline for overnight excursions. For example, according to the Ordinance on the Supervision of Minors (RSM) www.ge.ch/legislation/rsg/f/rsg_j6_20p04.html, the canton of Geneva prohibits children under the age of 16 from “staying alone outside after 24 hours without legitimate reason” and “unaccompanied by an adult who has authority over them after 24 hours in café-restaurants, as well as in theaters and entertainment halls, subject to the exceptions of the Shows and Entertainment Act, to stay. Entertainment”. According to the “Memento for parents and their children” issued by the Canton of Geneva www.ge.ch/dip/doc/memento.pdf, it is advisable to always have an identity document with you. These rules are not the same, depending on the canton or even the city where you live. For example, the regulations of the city of Nyon are a little stricter. They too have created a memorandum for parents, which you can check out here: www.nyon.ch/fr/vivre/enfance-jeunesse/10-18-ans-petit-memento-a-lusage-des-parents-986-16159. If you want more information, the Junior Association Juris Conseil, based in Geneva, can advise you on children in the legal field: www.jcj.ch. We hope these elements will help you in your search. Do not hesitate to contact us again for more information or other questions. Sincerely, the Municipal Libraries of the City of Geneva for InterroGE www.ville-ge.ch/bm www.interroge.ch minors (under 18 years of age) who have not completed compulsory schooling or, depending on the canton, who are under 15 or 16 years of age are subject to cantonal laws or municipal regulations that determine the schedules of excursions and the places they can visit.
In the absence of a request for a lowering of the age of admission by the Distributor, the minimum legal age is set at 16 years. Young people under the age of 16 may only be served or accommodated after 9 p.m. if the person responsible can assume that they are authorized by their legal representative to participate in the establishment. Below you will find extracts from the cantonal laws. It should be noted that festivals subject to approval are treated in the same way as public institutions. The application for early retirement must be submitted no later than the last day of the month in which the minimum legal age for early retirement was reached (63 or 64 for men and 62 or 63 for women). From 18:00, young people under the age of 12 will only have access to the premises and pitches if they are accompanied by their legal representative or an adult third party authorized by the legal representative. Children under the age of 12 can only access the facilities if accompanied by an adult. However, from the age of 10, children can have access to the facilities until 6 p.m. if they are in possession of parental permission. The legal retirement age in Switzerland is 64 for women and 65 for men. It is possible to anticipate retirement by one or two years or to postpone it by one to five years.
Consult the list of films classified by the National Commission for Cinema and Youth Protection but which are not yet available in the catalogue. Legally, men from the age of 63 and women from the age of 62 can take early retirement. It is important to know that early retirement for the duration of retirement leads to a reduction in the AHV and the 2nd pillar. If the payment from your pension fund allows it, it is also possible to receive your 2nd pillar from the age of 58. In this case, you will receive your 2nd pillar until the legal retirement age. A supplementary pension offered by the employer with the designation “AHV bridge” may be received if the regulations of the chosen pension fund so permit. This page is for families, parents, teachers, educators and movie buffs. A catalogue of films makes it possible to find the legal age and the proposed age, as well as the criteria that motivated these decisions, for all the films published in 1999, the year of the creation of the site, in the cinemas of the cantons of Vaud and Geneva.
For films released between 1981 and 1998, this catalogue contains information from the Vaud archives. As a general rule, minors under the age of 16 may participate in institutions and parties subject to authorization only if they are in possession of parental authorization or if they are under the responsibility of an adult to whom the power of attorney has been delegated. Deadlines, age limits and conditions vary from canton to canton. To receive your AHV pension, a written request must be sent to the compensation fund where the last contributions were paid. This application is made via the form – Application for old-age pension, which must be submitted at least three months before the legal minimum age. Minors under the age of 15 will only have access to a public institution holding a licence, including a temporary one, if they are accompanied by an adult to whom they are entrusted. The operator is responsible for compliance with these age limits. Where the circumstances so warrant, in particular where an event in a public body is organised specifically for young people, the prefect may reduce or even abolish the age limits provided for in paragraphs 1 and 2 and, where appropriate, attach conditions and fees to his decision.
Conversely, it is entitled to increase this limit for certain events. This website also contains legal texts, general information on the functioning of the Commissions and addresses to other websites dealing with the same subject.
