Part time jobs during early school help students meet expences reducing burden on parents. It has long term negative impact on over all economy and society at large. If students earn at early they think that they can live and earn without higher education. It is not popular here in India because here such low paid jobs are filled by lower section of society, Indian middle class parents who are the largest highly educated class/group in India never would like to see their children working part time for a low profile job such as in a restaurent,a meason, home delivery, courier delivery, billing at counter etc which doesn't require specialized skill. Imagine an Indian officer's or middle class family's son/daughter studying to become scientist/officer/professors and doing such part time work in India - impossible.

Siemens Corp., the U.S. arm of Germany's Siemens AG (SI.N), has over 3,000 jobs open all over the country. More than half require science, technology, engineering and math-related skills.
A survey by ManpowerGroup found that a record 52 percent of U.S. employers have difficulty filling critical positions within their organizations -- up from 14 percent in 2010.
ATS which counts manufacturing behemoths Caterpillar and Motorola among its clients, has at any given time about 200 open positions which can take 90 to a hundred days to fill them.
Contour Precision, based in Clover, South Carolina, does contract work for the energy and aerospace industries. It is currently looking for six technicians. It has had positions open since last year.
It's better to have short term difficulty rather long term everlasting damage. Wake up USA.
