Some jobs are probably ok for certain 16 year olds, but it's disingenuous to ignore:

- many 16 year olds are not ok to work around dangerous machines.

- they are working in environments with risk that they may not fully grasp.

- they end up being paid less.

They should probably be in apprenticeships. There should be guarantees about expert supervision when it comes to dangerous work conditions.

They shouldn't be exploited in minimum wage dead-end jobs like fast food.
