Child labor law

Children as young as six years old during the industrial revolution worked hard hours for little or no pay. Children sometimes worked up to 19 hours a day, with a one-hour total break.

Children were paid only a fraction of what an adult would get, and sometimes factory owners would get away with paying them nothing

Parents of the children who worked were almost forced to at least approve of it because they needed the income.
