Workhouses were established in the 19th and early 20th centuries, primarily as a response to widespread poverty and unemployment. They aimed to provide shelter and basic provisions for the poor while encouraging self-sufficiency through labor. The workhouse system was designed to deter reliance on public assistance by imposing strict conditions and harsh living environments, reflecting societal attitudes toward poverty at the time. By the early 1900s, many workhouses faced criticism for their harsh conditions and inefficiencies, leading to eventual reforms in social welfare.
