The Industrial Revolution was a time of great change for Great Britain, and although many benefited from
industrialization, children in cities frequently suffered. The
large numbers of new factories and the many technical
innovations ensured that children would be a necessary
part of the new workforce. But the work was often hard
and dangerous, and children were paid poorly and forced
to work long hours.
According to Darcy Koenig's book The Lives of Children
During the Industrial Revolution, many child workers died
or were so seriously injured in childhood that they were
unable to work as adults. And even children who didn't
work in factories suffered because they were often forced
to beg on the streets to make up for the low pay their
parents earned in factories. The Industrial Revolution was
a particularly bad time for children.
