At what age should my child get a part -time job and learn about the working world?

I think it's a good practise, I just don't know what age is a good time to start learning about it. Also, I don't want it to distract her from her studies

Like @stephyeo said there is really no model answer to your question. I feel that getting some form of work-experience at a young age is beneficial. One can learn and gain alot from it. I did a few part time jobs after my major exams in secondary school and JC as I felt that I had more time after my exams. IF your concern is so that she is not distracted from her studies, she could probably wait till her exams has ended and work part-time during the holiday period.
