Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book combines the statutes passed in the 19th century that formed the basis of all child labor laws. The central component of the text is the Factory Act of 1833 which set working hours for children, and separated employment for children by age. Previously children as young as six had worked for up to 16 hours a day in brutal conditions. The author chronologically follows the Acts that amended the initial law. The book examines the plight of child laborers in detail, describing working conditions and working environments. It shows the activists who worked for 60 years to help children, and the politicians who eventually agreed to a compromise that got these laws passed. An overview of the history of child labor laws in England from 1833 to the end of the century, this book will appeal to scholars of legal history, labor history, and economic history, and to social activists.
