1.Industrial Revolution generally

The process of the Industrial Rrvolution starts in england at the end of the 18th century. There were made numerous technical, medicial and electronic inventions for example:

-1766 blast furnance

-1767 spinning machine by James Hargreaves

-1769 steam engine by James Watt

In addition to new economic changes such as the rapid and efficient production and capital formation were also far-reaching social restructuring. Workers parties and trade unions have been formed, the population increased rapidly and the cities were bigger. The transition from an agrarian to an industrial society has remained one of the most important events in european history.


2.What means child labor?

When children have to contribute at a young age to her own nutritiot or security of family nutritiot.


3.Why there was child labor?

By advances in medicine, hygiene and the food industrie doubled the number of inhabitants and because of this there were not enough jobs. Many peasant trying to find a job in the cities. By a lack of jobs, wages fall and many men are unable to feed their familys. And so also cildren have to work to earn enough money for their family.


4.The circumstances of the child

At the beginning of the Industrial Revolution earned the men not enough money to feed their family. Before laws for protect the circumstances changed women and cildren also had to work. Already 6 years the children of the proletarian began to work. Because of their size they were particulry used in mines or as a chimney sweep.


5.Example for a typical working day

The children had to get up in the morning between 5 and 6 ó clock and must immediately run to factory. Noon they had one hour break and go home to eat. After 13 hours laborious and exhausting work they go exhausted home. If they had enough money they can go to school but they were exhausted and thus not receptive.

Circa 22 ó clock dragged them home and let them beat to bed and feel asleep immediatly.


6.Healthy consequences

The consequences were disastrous. The children can`t themselves physically and mentally develop. There posture was over years away the same. They work with noise and dirt, do not moved of fresh air and subsisted insufficient. Accidents on machines are on the order of the day.

Consequences are for example physical weakness, stunting, dental disease or tuberculosis.


7.Laws to the elimination of child labor

From the middle of the 19th century were designed laws to improve the child labour. The main reason was not a humanitarian reason but the potential demand of young soldiers. Because childs which worked hard in there youth could not be grow to strong, deployable soldiers.
