Children began working in mills during the Industrial Revolution, which started in the late 18th century and continued into the 19th century. Many children as young as five or six were employed in textile mills, particularly in Britain and the United States, due to the demand for cheap labor. They often worked long hours in dangerous conditions, leading to eventual reforms in child labor laws. The widespread use of child labor in mills began to decline significantly by the late 1800s as public awareness and advocacy for workers' rights increased.

Well, in the 19th century, children were expected to start work at a very young age (some were four, five, six and older), because most didn't go to school and had nothing to do except run around the dark, dangerous streets, pick-pocketing. Most children were taken to work in factories or mills against their will.
