child labor
Child labor in the industrial revolution still affects children today for many reasons. Children may not have realized that they have helped us alot. They made sacrifices for their family and their health just to get food on the table. No kids back then had education, so because of that a child’s education is very important today. Child labor gave children today a chance to have a childhood and to spend time with their parents or have a play-date with their best friends
A child with an education was very rare back then. They didn’t have much of a choice because parents depended on their income. Kids had to work so much that, they didn’t have time for school. Nobody realized back then; but kids not going to school affected many generation of children. Without an education, their most likely not going to be able to have a job that makes enough money to get out of poverty. The kids worked for about 1 to 2 cents a day (sometimes not getting anything at all). Children Today don’t have to work. Because of child labor laws strictly saying that kids can’t work until their 13 years old, and by the time kids are 13 they would’ve had an education. Making the percentage of people in poverty lower.
Child Labor has affected many children today by giving the children rights, even though it took a while it still happened. Every kids should be proud for the long hard battle to make sure kids are going to school and not working.
You may think, why would their parents do this? Well many parents had to agree to it or their family wouldn't survive without the income. If they didn't work they didn't have enough income to live or have shelter. One man, Lewis Wickes Hines, quit teaching to go and take pictures of children working and expose the horrors of child labor to naive people. But still many thought child labor helped poor families and the community at large. Sometimes whole families were hired, men for the heavy work and women and children for the lighter work.
