Working conditions

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. This was a little bit on the extreme, but it was not common for children who worked in factories to work 12-14 hours with the same minimal breaks. Thats the childrens part in all of this. The men usualy worked long hours with very little pay also. Thats why some familys liked that their kid was working because its more income coming in.
