  1. The Industrial Revolution By: Jolie, Jacob, Ben, Tyler, Alex, and Rawia.

  2. Ben’s Page • The Industrial Revolution started in the 1750. • Child Labor started during the Industrial Revolution. • The Industrial Revolution started by the making of the Textile machines. • The textile machines made everything faster so the cottage workers started lousing their jobs. • The cottage workers started moving to the city for jobs. • Parents needed all the money they could get so they let their kids to start working.

  3. Jolie’s Page • Question: Why were so many kids working during the Industrial Revolution? • Answer: The poor needed money and the Industrialists needed cheap labor. • As long as the conditions existed the practice would continue.

  4. Alex’s Page • Life on the farm vs. Life in the city • There were many benefits of children in the factories • Small Hands • Low wages

  5. Alex’s Page • When families all lived on the farm, everyone helped with the farm work. • When people moved to the city, every person in the family did what they could to add to the family income. • Children worked in factories because the machines were powered by water wheels and if something on the machine broke they would not just stop all the machines for that one machine to be fixed. • Because of this they needed people with small hands to reach in and fix the machines so the employers usually only hired women and children because men often had larger hands. • Also children could be manipulated into accepting low wages.

  7. Tyler’s Page • - Schools were expensive to send a child to, so working class families couldn't afford to send children there. • - Parents were quite willing to let children work in mills and factories as it provided the family with a higher income: one consequence of this was a high birth rate. • -Children didn’t have rights. They had no say in what they wanted to do. • -Children were small enough to fit between tight fitting machinery that adults couldn't get between. Children soon ended up working in all types of industry.

  8. Jacob’s Page END OF CHILD LABOR • Fair Labor Standards Act in 1938 • By the National Child Labor Committee(which started in 1904)
