No, early in the Victorian Age, children as young as three years old were set to work in factories and mines for up to 16 hours a day, many in dangerous and horrifying conditions. Many worked as chimney sweeps for tyranical masters (you'll remember Oliver was afraid to be a sweep in Oliver Twist), who 'encouraged' them by lighting fires below them. Child labor is an issue Charles Dickens addresses in many of his books and short stories, and he publically worked for the passage of protection laws for children. In 1831, a royal commission recommended that, in the textile industry, the working age be raised to nine and the day be shortened to nine hours. Successive acts between 1819 and 1846 placed greater and greater restrictions on the employment of children. But it would be many years before the working age and conditions came to resemble our laws today.
