However, the Industrial Revolution brought severe consequences to society. The factory owners needed cheap, unskilled labor, so they profited greatly by using children and women to run the machines. By the age of 6, many children were already working 14 hours a day in factories! These kids had no free time to do anything else and earned low wages. Some got sick and died because of the toxic fumes, while others were severely injured and sometimes killed working at the dangerous machines in factories. Obviously, the Industrial Revolution had both good and bad sides. So what were the effects of the Industrial Revolution?

    For many children, the Industrial Revolution had a negative impact on their lives. The children who had to work did not have a say in whether they wanted to or not. Since children were working about 16 hours a day, they were unable to attend school to get any education at all (Document 1). Because they were unable to go to school, they were never taught how to write (Document 1). Some children who did work in the factories were fortunate enough to learn how to read from family members at home such as parents, or older siblings. In most factories where children were found, they were beaten if they did not follow directions or if they have done something wrong. From all of the horrible working conditions, children were permanently damaged for the rest of their lives (Document 2). Due to standing the entire time they were working their muscles would stop functioning properly and their bodies couldn’t support the weight of their bones (Document 2). Many children have died working in the factories because they would get cut and then develop an infection (Document 2). Other times children have been caught in the machine and had their bones broken and their flesh ripped and children working with them would try and rescue them and get injured in the process (Document 2). This all occurred because the shaft to the machine was not covered (Document 2). Children were also being told that they would soon die because of the dust that would fill the air in the factories, being overworked and having an…

However, life for the poor and working classes continued to be filled with challenges. Wages for those who worked in factories were low and working conditions could be dangerous and repetitive. Unskilled workers had little job security and were easily replaceable.

    One of the most significant social consequences during the Industrial Revolution was child labor. During the late 1700s up until the Factory Act of 1833, children as young as six were working on average 12-14 hours a day in factories for little to no pay. The conditions in factories were deplorable, and the child workers were frequently forced to work with dangerous, heavy equipment. There were many accidents in these factories that resulted in children being seriously injured and even killed at work. Orphans were often taken advantage of and used as slave labor. The young children who were not old enough to work with the machines, often worked as assistants to adult workers in the factory, who would beat them. Punishments like weighting, where a heavy weight was tied to the child 's neck while he walked up and down the hallway to serve as an example for the other children, were often used when children showed up to work late or did not reach their quotas (Child Labor).…
