factory owners paid low wages and forced workers to work more hours as this maximized their profits. they were not concerned about the financial or social condition of the workers. they only think about themselves and to make more money they gave minimum wage and made them work longer hours.
factory owners would hire women and children, as they have to be paid less than adult men. paying less to work force ensures more profit margin, and so would making them work more for same amount of money.
lack of labor unions also helped factory owners to exploit the workers, as the workers had no voice of representation and followed the commands of factory owners.
