During the Victorian era, it is estimated that around 1,000 children died each day in England, primarily due to factors such as poverty, poor sanitation, and Infectious Diseases. High infant mortality rates were particularly prevalent, with many children succumbing to illnesses like cholera, tuberculosis, and measles. These statistics reflect the harsh living conditions and limited medical knowledge of the time.
Children were Paid only 6 shillings a day. This would be 30 pence today. It was very hard for many because this was what they had to feed their entire family.
Victorian children usually didn't have to do much work, except if they were lower class. They might have a couple of chores that they assisted the servants in, but they usually just played all day.
During Victorian times, the average workday for many individuals, especially in factories and mines, typically ranged from 10 to 16 hours. Children and adults often worked six days a week, with very few breaks. Labor laws began to change towards the end of the Victorian era, leading to shorter work hours and improved conditions, but many workers initially endured long, grueling shifts.

Victorian children, particularly those employed as climbing boys, typically worked long hours, often ranging from 10 to 14 hours a day. Their primary job was to climb inside chimneys to clean them, which was both dangerous and unhealthy. Many of these boys began working as young as five or six years old, enduring harsh conditions and minimal pay. Legislative reforms eventually led to restrictions on child labor, improving their working conditions over time.
