Why did many factory owners in the late 1800s hire children rather than adults?

Women were paid cheaper than men were. Children had small hands, so if there was a problem in the machinery they could easily fix it. Many children died because of this, some of these tasks ended up taking off their hands or even hairs and sometimes even scalped them.

∙ 12y agoDuring the Industrial Revolution (and even prior to it), factory owners used child labour because, quite simply, it was cheaper. Children worked for less than adults, and their parents were often happy to send them off to work, as the lower classes did not value education. Many men lost work when machines were introduced, as machines could do more work in less time, so if the children had the opportunity to work and earn money, they did.

Learning disabilities in adults are quite common, but may go undiagnosed for years. Just like children, adults can suffer from ADD/ADHD, dyslexia, autism spectrum disorders, and others that can be disruptive to work and personal life.

Adults with ADD/ADHD, for example, may feel that their symptoms are indicative of laziness rather than a treatable disorder.
