Question

what is the working conditions of workers in factories in early phase of industrialisation

Answer 1

The working condition of workers in Britain was quite poor when industrial revolution was set in motion. In India too it was similar or worse. Besides the physical hardship, workers wages were below what it should have been, they did not get any monetary incentives for extra hours worked, there was no cap on the number of hours they would work every day, there was no healthcare facility, in the event of injuries no compensation was paid and so on. The owner or promoter was supreme and the workers would carry out the job as per the former's whims and fancies without any of their rights being protected.

Gradually, as Acts like Factories Act, Workmens' Compensation Act, Minimum Wages Act, ESI Act, Payment of Bonus Act etc were established, the working condition of workers began to improve and the worker was thereafter recognised as a stakeholder in the entire activity..

Today the government has made various laws for the safety of the workers and provide them with good working conditions but this wasn't so during the. early phase of industrialisation.The work timings were not applied so the workers were bound to keep working.Even the basic eminities like washroom ,and canteen for lunch.Workers used to bring food from home.But in factories there were no proper lunch timings.The pay that workers used to get was also so low.In the cotton industries situations were even worse.The workers used to work for long hours
the machinery used to get very hot.During that phase even small kids were employed.The children could not deal with long working hours and odd lunch timings.The mortality rate for kids was on high.Due to odd working hours and poor working conditions the workers used to get sick.The factory work was considered as very hard in those times.
