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.

However, in practice, children as young as 5 or 6 could be found working in various industries due to widespread poverty and lack of enforcement of these laws.
