Yes, girls did work as chimney sweeps during the Victorian era, although it was less common than for boys. They were often employed in the same hazardous and exploitative conditions, facing health risks and long hours. The use of child labor, including girls as chimney sweeps, was prevalent until reforms in labor laws began to address these abuses in the late 19th century. Efforts to improve working conditions and prohibit child labor eventually led to the decline of this practice.
Working Boys Home was created in 1896.
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.
The bootblack strike of 1899 was primarily caused by the poor working conditions and low wages faced by bootblacks, who were often young boys working in street stalls. They protested against the oppressive fees charged by their employers and the lack of support from local businesses. Additionally, the strike highlighted broader social issues of child labor and exploitation during that era. The strike aimed to demand better treatment and fair compensation for their labor.
Child Labor is caused by povertyEducation ( Some family cannot afford the money because it is expansive and must family only support the boys they don't go for the girls they want to girl to stay home and work so that they can save cost for their brothers to go to school)
During the Industrial Revolution, children primarily worked in factories, mines, and as domestic servants. In factories, they operated machinery, while in mines, they often worked as trapper boys or haulage workers. Working conditions were typically harsh, with long hours and little regard for safety or health. This exploitation sparked later movements for child labor reform and labor rights.

In Victorian times, errand boys typically earned between 5 to 10 shillings per week, depending on their age, experience, and the nature of their work. This wage was often just enough to support their basic needs, as many boys came from poorer families. Additionally, their hours were long, often working from dawn until dusk, and their pay reflected the low value placed on child labor during that era.
