The situation he saw in Britain at the time. there was huge amounts of unemployment. Many were poor, so poor that they were dying from health issues brought about by a lack of food. There were industrialists that were using child labour as it was "cheap and plentiful" rather than take on adults. Many in Parliament of the time ignored the desperate situation and Dickens saw that work houses were for many the only place they could go and often they would die within weeks of going to these terrible places
