Well, children were mostly taken from orphanages where they weren't wanted and weren't needed and put to work. Women also because they didn't have jobs before... men were the only ones.
Answer:
Women and children were hired for several reasons:
- they had few if any rights under the law
- they were desperate for a job to provide food
- the alternative to factory work (farm work) was much more dangerous so they were happy to take any work
- they were smaller and could fit in areas where men couldn't go
- women and children are better at small muscle work (hand work) that required precision and skill
- they could do the same amount of work as men while being paid less ( a good cost benefit ratio)
- children could be mistreated with impunity (the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals was originally the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children and Animals)
