Why didn't child labor during the Industrial Revolution continue?

Answer 1

•Economic historians argue it was the rise in the standard of living that accompanied the Industrial Revolution that allowed parents to keep their children home. Although mandatory schooling laws did not play a role because they were so late, other scholars argue that families started showing an interest in education and began sending their children to school voluntarily.

•Social historians believe it was the rise of the domestic ideology of the father as breadwinner and the mother as housewife, that was imbedded in the upper and middle classes and spread to the working-class.

•Finally, others claim that it was the advances in technology and the new heavier and more complicated machinery, which required the strength of skilled adult males.
