there are no hardships of labor of a child
In Victorian times, children as young as 6 years old could be employed in factories and mines. The legal working age was later raised to 10 years old. However, many children started working at a much younger age due to poverty and lack of regulations.
10 was very common but it wasn't shocking to see a 5-year-old working.
Children werenever happy then and they only earned very small amounts of money. Half a penny was what they earned. If they had poor parents that money had to do. Children labour was held in factories, chimney sweep, rat catching and all sorts of other things. You wouldn't do that to your kids would you?
