INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION
akaINDUSTRIAL AGE
akaINDUSTRIALIZATION
OBJECTIVE: I can prove industrialization had a social, political, and economic effect on Western Europe and the world.
Increased need for workers led to: - People moving from the country to cities to work
- Hiring women to work
- Hiring children to work
- Factory owners hired women and children because there were not enough men to fill all the jobs.
Industrialization caused changes for women
- Women’s work went from life on the farm to life in the factories and the city
- Women no longer raised their food or made the things her family needed, now they bought them
- Women worked 12 to 14 hours a day in factories
Why hire a kid?
Kids work cheap
Kids have little bodies and little hands and can work in tight places
Factory Aid Act
In 1833 British Parliament (England’s legislature) passed the Factory Aid Act which limited the number of hours kids could work.
