hello
during the 18 century child labor was common, during the years of the Industrial Revolution. At the time, due to industrial revolution industrial cities and towns grew dramatically due to the migration of farmers and their families who were looking for work in the newly developed factories and mines which were common. The living conditions in the cities and towns were miserable and characterized by: overcrowding, poor sanitation, spread of diseases, and pollution. there was no proper health conditions or living .
