∙ 8y agoChildren as young as six years old were working in these factories for long hours and little pay because every member of their families had to work for their family to survive. "Children sometimes worked up to 19 hours a day, with a one-hour total break. This was a little bit on the extreme, but it was not common for children who worked in factories to work 12-14 hours with the same minimal breaks" (Child labor in factories: A new workforce during the Industrial Revolution). Things didn't start to improve until the Factory Act 1833 but in the Factory Act 1850 it talks about increasing hours worked by women and children to 10 and a half hours a day, but they not allowed to work before 6am or after 6pm. In 1874 no worker was allowed to work more than 56.5 hours per week. sausage
