When does Child Labour start? Child Labor started mainly in the late 1700's and early 1800’s when power-driven machines replaced hand labor for making most manufactured items. At this time, factories really came into business, hiring young children for very small amounts. Since operating power-drivin machines did not require adult strength, children were the ideal solution. Children had always worked, especially in farming. But factory work was something different. It was hard on a kid. A child with a factory job might work 12 to 18 hours a day, 6 days a week, to earn a dollar. Many children began working before the age of 7, tending machines in spinning mills or carrying heavy loads. The factories were often damp, dark, and dirty. Some children worked underground and in coal mines. The working children had no time to play or go to school, and little time to rest. They often became sick. By 1810, about 2 million school-age children were working 50- to 70-hour weeks. Most came from poor families and had to help out their family by working. Britain was the first to pass laws regulating child labor. From 1802 to 1878, a series of laws gradually shortened the working hours, improved the conditions, and raised the age at which children could work. Other European countries adopted similar laws. It took several more decades to reduce the amount of child labor. However, it was never fully stopped. Child labor still Happens to this day, but has improved a lot.
