Industrial Revolution - Child Labor
Child labor in the industrial reveloution was a very hard time in the 19th century. Children
between 10-12 were working 14-16 hours a day and they were only paid as much as 10 cents a day, because it was (for the owners of the factory) better to hire children to work in the factorys because they were smaller and if they had to reach into a big macine it would be easier for them to do that, because they were smaller. And also because they paid grown men more money, that is another reason why they paid children, because they would accept fewer amount of money.
