Before child labor laws, working-class children, like the boys in the picture, worked long hours on hazardous jobs. Many of these workers were aged 10 or less. What are some of the reasons mine and factory owners would hire children for certain jobs? Why do you think the children’s parents allowed their children to work?

Answer:

The main reasons for hiring children were:

a. they were small in size and could fit easily in spaces in mines and factories where adults could not.

b. they were easy to control

c. they could be paid far less

Parents allowed their children to work because this provided them with extra incomes. Child labour was not viewed as a problem hence it was normal for parents to allow their children to work.
