  • Children worked very long hours with little breaks and no fresh air.
  • They often worked in very dangerous conditions resulting in injuries or even death.
  • Very young children were expected to work
  • There was no education for the poor, so it was very unlikely they could get better paid jobs when they were older.
  • Children were paid very little because they were younge
  • Children were much cheaper than adults as a factory owner did not have to pay them as much.
  • There were plenty of children in orphanages, so they could be replaced easily if accidents did occur.
  • Children were small enough to crawl under machinery to tie up broken threads.
