In 1864, the United Kingdom passed the Factory Act, which included provisions that specifically outlawed the employment of children under the age of eight in factories. This legislation aimed to improve working conditions and reduce the exploitation of children in the industrial workforce, reflecting the growing concern over child labor during the Industrial Revolution. The act marked a significant step in the movement towards labor reform and the protection of children's rights.
