Children stopped working in factories primarily due to the rise of labor laws and reforms in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Advocacy from social reformers, labor unions, and public awareness campaigns highlighted the harsh conditions and exploitation children faced. Legislation, such as the Fair Labor Standards Act in the U.S., set minimum age requirements and regulated working hours, effectively reducing child labor in industrial settings. Additionally, increased access to education and changing societal attitudes toward child welfare contributed to this decline.

Although there are very few children working (illegally) in factories in the more developed countries, there are tens of thousands of children working in textile and other factories in south Asia and southeast Asia, as well as parts of South America and Africa. The clothing which many people wear, here in the U.S. is made (unfortunately) with child labor from many of these overseas textile factories.

Children faces all types of abuses when working in factories. These abuses included but were not only limited to: bad working conditions, low to no wages, hazardous jobs, and overwork without break. However, these abuses have been diminished due to the government's acts on child labor.
