Best Answer

Children were put in very hazardous conditions with little pay and equipment. They would have few breaks and often worked long hours of the day, and only had thin clothes and maybe a helmet to protect themselves (in coal mines). Even adult had horrible conditions, but children were a cheap source of labor, so they were used more often and given the worst and most dangerous equipment.

The families needed to money. Everyone in the family worked just to make ends meet. Many factories outsourced work and whole families would work on the outsourced items they were hired for. The children could get jobs in the mills because they were small enough to get under the machines when they jammed without the machines turned off slowing production.
