During the Industrial Revolution, when many hands were critical to manufacturing, there were jobs that were not well thought of. As a result, immigrants, who had difficulty finding work, would send their children to these factories. There was no legislation then, to regulate the work environment. Thus, children worked long, arduous hours and were paid very little. Due to the children's lack of judgement, many were seriously injured or killed in the process. They would work such long hours, they would be exhausted, especially doing jobs that were dangerous to begin with. Once regulation came into the labor arena, one of the first things targeted was was the use of child labor, especially in areas where the work was dangerous. Unfortunately, there are still many parts of the world where child labor is very prevalent and the children are still exploited for their labor. These little people are not only exposed to dangerous jobs, but are robbed of their childhoods.
Children in times past went to work at young ages because families depended on every member to bring in a wage to support them. After Child Labor laws were passed in 1938, children were protected from work tasks that endangered their well-being. Later laws limit the age and times during which children may work.
