Best Answer

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.
