The Liberal Party which was the Whig Party in Victorian England did not intefere in private buisnesses so manufacturing companies and mining companieswere able to do what ever they want. Since money making was important for them they wanted to pay low wages to the workers who need family members to work to get more money for the family. Children also had to work.

Why children did not go to school in Victorian times?

children didnt go to school in Victorian times as schooling was expensive and the vast majority couldn't afford to be educated. money was more important and with money they could feed themselves if nothing else so children were put to work as soon as they could be. hope this helps hun Before the Education act of about 1887, there was no enforced schooling, so if a family were poor, children did not go to school, but went to work instead.

What did children do in factories in the Industrial Revolution?

A little of everything. One of the things they used children for in the woolen mills was to clean out from under the big machines that spun the cloth. Children were small so they could get under the wheels and clean the lint. If the lint wasn't cleaned it could cause a fire. The big problem with that is that they never stopped the machines so the children would get caught in the machine and killed doing the work. Children were worked 14 or more hours a day and could be as young as 5 years old. They had no breaks and were given no meal times. Some factories locked their workers into the factory during the shifts. That happened in NYC with a factory that made shirts and the people making and sewing the shirts were killed when a fire started and they couldn't get out because the doors were locked. Many of people who died that day were little girls working there. In many places in the world children are still worked the same way they were 90 years ago here. Factories who make our basketballs, dolls, shoes, and other things are full of child workers.
