True or False: Contracts of employment beneficial to minors bind the minor.

In Canadian law, contracts involving minors are generally governed by the principle that minors (individuals under the age of 18) have the capacity to enter into contracts, but those contracts are voidable at the minor's discretion. However, there are exceptions when it comes to contracts deemed beneficial to minors, such as contracts for employment.

When a contract of employment is shown to be beneficial to a minor, it becomes binding. This means that the minor can enforce the contract and the employer is also bound by the terms. This principle exists to protect the interests of minors and to encourage their meaningful participation in work, as long as the work is appropriate and does not exploit their youth or inexperience.

Therefore, the assertion that contracts of employment beneficial to minors bind the minor is correct. Such contracts are considered in the minor's best interest and can foster their development and ability to gain work experience. This acknowledgment balances the freedom to work while still ensuring minors are not exploited or unfairly treated.
