ReplyDeleteThe Industrial Revolution started at the end of the 18th century in Great Britain and it was the transition from an economy based on handcrafted manufacturing to an economy based on machine manufacturing.
During the Industrial Revolution, children in Great Britain started to work in factories and mines from the age of ten.
Children from industrial areas worked in factories and mines.
In factories they were usually employed as piercers which repaired brakes in the thread or as scavengers, crawling under machineries to clean them of things that could slow or stop the machines.
In mines children were employed to supervise the trap doors, pick out coal from the mines or carry pickaxes for the miners.
Children’s from rural areas labor consisted in bird-scaring, sowing fields, and riding horses.
In towns children mostly boys were hired as couriers or chimney sweeper.
Even though the laboured children from different regions had different tasks all of them were working on a very small salary, their work was dirty and really dangerous and the work schedule was really long aswell.
Nowadays children labor isn’t allowed until a certain age and the working schedule can go up to only eight hours a day.
