Low Wages and Long Working Hours

Most workers earned very low wages. Employers paid the lowest possible amount because
there were many workers competing for jobs. Even when adults worked full-time, their wages
were often not enough to feed and clothe their families.

Workers also had to work very long hours, usually between 10 and 14 hours a day, six days a
week. There were no laws to limit working hours at first. Factory owners cared more about profit
than worker health.

Long hours caused exhaustion, illness, and accidents. Workers had no paid holidays or sick
leave. If they complained, they could be easily replaced. This unfair treatment made workers
angry and led to the growth of trade unions and political movements demanding change.

Child Labour
Child labour was very common during this period. Poor families needed extra income, so
children were sent to work at a young age. Employers preferred children because they were
cheap and easier to control.

Children worked in factories, mines, and as chimney sweeps. Many worked long hours in
dangerous conditions. In mines, children crawled through narrow tunnels. In factories, they
operated heavy machinery without safety protection.

Child labour damaged children’s health and stopped them from getting an education. Many
could not read or write. Reports and investigations exposed these conditions, causing public
