REASONS FOR CHILD LABOR
IN ORDER FOR FAMILIES TO SURVIVE POVERTY, EVERY MEMBER OF THE FAMILY HAD TO WORK
FAMILIES MOVED FROM RURAL FARM AREAS TO INDUSTRIALIZED CITIES TO FIND WORK.
POOR PARENTS DEPENDED ON THEIR CHILDREN'S WAGES TO SURVIE
FAMILIES NEEDED THE INCOME IN ORDER TO STAY ABOVE THE POVERTY LEVEL
WORKING CONDITIONS
LARGE HEAVY AND DANGEROUS EQUIPMENT WAS COMMON FOR THE CHILDREN TO BE AROUND AND USE
FACTORIES PUT OUT FUMES AND TOXINS WHICH RESULTED DISEASES OR ILLNESS
MANY CHILDREN WERE INJURED OR KILLED ON THE JOB
IF THE CHILDREN WERE LATE, THE PUNISHMENT WAS OUT OF HAND.
SAFTEY HAZARDS
THEY DIDNT HAVE PROPER SAFETY CHECKS
IN FACTORIES, THE MACHINES WOULD OPERATE QUICKLY THAT LITTLE ARMS OR FINGERS WOULD GET CAUGHT
