The Industrial Revolution led to large numbers of women and children working in factories. They often performed dangerous work for low pay, as did adult male factory workers.
Factories often hired women and children because they would work for cheaper. Not only that, but children could work long hours. Many children also worked as newboys or did ran errands for shops.

Families worked together as a family unit in factories only at the very beginning of the industrial revolution. This is many because before factories there was the cottage system where families worked close together, and so factories wanted to employ the same system. After the child labor laws were put into play then the factories would stop hiring children, and women at this time had a hard time finding work because of the sexual division of labor that was seen during the industrial revolution.
An area where there are many factories is commonly referred to as an industrial zone or an industrial park.
There were obviously many jobs as there are now a days but these were the main ones. Female Victorian children worked either as maids in large households or in factories if they were less fortunate. the boys worked in factories also and as more important higher jobs that women.
