Belonging to youth

Minor's is the possessive form of minor, indicating something belonging to or associated with a person who has not yet reached legal adulthood.

It appears most often in legal and institutional contexts: a minor's consent, a minor's earnings, protecting a minor's privacy.

The apostrophe distinguishes it from the plural minors.
