Slide 5 - Tekstslide

Children in factories
Poor families often couldn't afford to feed their children. The children had to work in order for the family to be able to live. 
Sometimes they started working as soon as they could walk. 
They worked long hours and were paid very little. 

Slide 6 - Tekstslide

What did they do?
The children usually did the work that the older people couldn't do. 
For example they had to climb under heavy machinery.

Slide 7 - Tekstslide

Injuries
The children often did very dangerous work, especially in the factories. 
The children would often lose fingers or could even lose their lives. 

Slide 8 - Tekstslide

Why did the factories hire children?
Children were much cheaper than adults as a factory owner did not have to pay them as much.
There were plenty of children in orphanages, so they could be replaced easily if accidents did occur.
Some jobs could only be done by children.

Slide 9 - Tekstslide

The factory act of 1833

-Children of 9-13 years to work no more than nine hours a day

Discuss: How much did this improve the lives of children under the age of 10? How did it improve for the older children?
