Why did the factory owners in the industrial revolution like the children to work for them?

They could pay them less and get away with it. They also, often, picked up children from orphanages and had them make a contract which, essentially, made them the property of the factory. In that case, they had to provide food and shelter, but it was of extremely poor quality. A second reason is that children are small and nimble and could work in the machines easier than large males (this also applies for the women of the time).
