Up until the past half century children were workers in both society and at home. The main reason for big families in pre-20th century eras were to have more people to work on family farms and businesses. In the early 20th century America, children (as early as age 9 or 10) worked in jobs such as coal mines, textile mills, and other dangerous jobs to help the family out with finances. The modern child is less worked and more provided for than early eras due to the change in societal customs and views in the Western world.
