Answer:

Children as young as four years old worked long hours in factories under dangerous conditions. The practice of child labor continued throughout much of the Industrial Revolution until laws were eventually passed that made child labor illegal.

The Industrial Revolution refers to the significant progress made between the end of the 18th and mid-19th century in production, manufacturing, and other technology fields. During the Industrial Revolution, working conditions were beyond cruel, especially for women and children.  

EXPLANATION:

  • The Industrial Revolution presented women with new opportunities and exposed them to new threats at the same time. Women generally worked for necessity during the Industrial Revolution. Most nations have had no social programs to help the poor during this period. Job was a matter of surviving. Women were often working hours in horrible conditions— sometimes 80 hours a week.
  • This was before labour law days. The factories could ultimately decide any rule, and employees could not do much about. Conditions had often been toxic and dangerous. Men usually held supervisory positions, and sexual harassment, abuse and discrimination often occurred with women workers. Typically, women were paid less than men and received less treatment. In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, the factories and mines were unsafe and demanding places to work.
  • During the industrial revolution, child labour was a prevalent feature and included children who were exposed to inhuman and violent conditions. Be it mines, factories, or other workplaces, kids would work in hot and hazardous conditions for low wage rates and that for long exhausting hours.  
  • Children were thus often faced with difficulties and workplace abuses. Children were not only compelled to work in dangerous, cramped and hot conditions, but they had little or no right to compensation if they were injured at work. Because the government embraced capitalism, they had no measures to pressure factories to protect or recompense employees if they were hurt and no longer allowed to work.
