The children were treated like adults and had harsh conditions in the jobs they held and they were not paid much at all for what they did. Adults never cared about the children, Riis basically sums up the chapter by saying that children were treated “awful”. Children were even thrown out of school for no reason except to make room for others. In 1900, 18 percent of all American workers were under the age of 16.</p></div><div class="columns large-1-5 position-relative show-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col"><ul><li>1433 Words</li><li>6 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns large-2 show-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-decent-essays"><div><span>Decent Essays</span></div></div><div class="small-12 medium-12 large-1-5 position-relative card-grade-essay-button-col"><a class="button text-m " href="/essay/Dbq-How-The-Other-Half-Lives-By-78D8101959E33223">Read More</a></div></div></li><li id="related-essay2"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-12 card box-shadow card-grade-essay paper no-padding"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 hide-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-decent-essays"><div><span>Decent Essays</span></div></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 position-relative hide-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col padding-left-1-imp"><a href="/essay/Social-Reform-Dbq-0B094624DA55EF73" class="hide-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Social Reform Dbq</h2></a><ul><li>1281 Words</li><li>6 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-8 position-relative"><div class="card-grade-essay-preview-col show-for-large"><a href="/essay/Social-Reform-Dbq-0B094624DA55EF73" class="show-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Social Reform Dbq</h2></a></div><p class="text-m break-word word-break text-ellipsis-after text-ellipsis-after">Often while waiting for stable work men would do seasonal work to support their families but once the season was over they would be left struggling to afford basic necessities like food and shelter.

Elizabeth Rose describes children’s lives in Philadelphia in her book A Mother’s Job, writing “A visitor to any of Philadelphia's working-class neighborhoods in 1890 might encounter children in the streets peddling fruit, selling newspapers, carrying large bundles of clothes for their mothers to work on at home, rocking small babies, and playing games like kick-the-can in between delivery wagons, horsecars, pushcarts, and ice trucks.” By the end of the 19th century, children were already caring for their siblings with little adult supervision and wandering dangerous city streets alone. In addition to the dangers of poverty and a hostile urban environment, children were also often forced into factory jobs, forced to work an average of 12 to 18 hours a day for 6 days a week.</p></div><div class="columns large-1-5 position-relative show-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col"><ul><li>1580 Words</li><li>7 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns large-2 show-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-better-essays"><div><span>Better Essays</span></div></div><div class="small-12 medium-12 large-1-5 position-relative card-grade-essay-button-col"><a class="button text-m " href="/essay/New-Deal-Dbq-98B731D340CE70B9">Read More</a></div></div></li><li id="related-essay6"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-12 card box-shadow card-grade-essay paper no-padding"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 hide-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-satisfactory-essays"><div><span>Satisfactory Essays</span></div></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 position-relative hide-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col padding-left-1-imp"><a href="/essay/Roles-Of-Children-During-The-Industrial-Revolution-FCHSKH8UZ8T" class="hide-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Roles Of Children During The Industrial Revolution</h2></a><ul><li>152 Words</li><li>1 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-8 position-relative"><div class="card-grade-essay-preview-col show-for-large"><a href="/essay/Roles-Of-Children-During-The-Industrial-Revolution-FCHSKH8UZ8T" class="show-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Roles Of Children During The Industrial Revolution</h2></a></div><p class="text-m break-word word-break text-ellipsis-after text-ellipsis-after">In the 1800s the Industrial Revolution created new jobs for millions of people including children. Many children during the Industrial Revolution were employed in manufacturing and mining. One of the most widely recognized jobs for children was as a “Newsie” or “Newsboy”. This job was held by young children, usually boys, while girls usually worked in mills that produced textiles and paper products. Many newsies had families and homes, and were children who went to school in the day and sold papers in the evening and on weekends to support their families. Many times orphaned, there were as many as 10,000 homeless newsies wandering the streets of New York in the 1899.

Textile mills would employ many children the mills were so profitable they would run 24 hours a day resulting in many children working night</p></div><div class="columns large-1-5 position-relative show-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col"><ul><li>949 Words</li><li>4 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns large-2 show-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-decent-essays"><div><span>Decent Essays</span></div></div><div class="small-12 medium-12 large-1-5 position-relative card-grade-essay-button-col"><a class="button text-m " href="/essay/Child-Labor-In-The-1800s-Essay-BDF52A0B14E78042">Read More</a></div></div></li><li id="related-essay9"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-12 card box-shadow card-grade-essay paper no-padding"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 hide-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-decent-essays"><div><span>Decent Essays</span></div></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 position-relative hide-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col padding-left-1-imp"><a href="/essay/Frederick-Engels-Impact-on-the-Conditions-of-PKWAMSZVJ" class="hide-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary"> Frederick Engels' Impact on the Conditions of Laborers Essay examples</h2></a><ul><li>810 Words</li><li>4 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-8 position-relative"><div class="card-grade-essay-preview-col show-for-large"><a href="/essay/Frederick-Engels-Impact-on-the-Conditions-of-PKWAMSZVJ" class="show-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary"> Frederick Engels' Impact on the Conditions of Laborers Essay examples</h2></a></div><p class="text-m break-word word-break text-ellipsis-after text-ellipsis-after">Life can at times seem bad, even in the lives of some of the most prestigious, rich, popular people in the world. Bad hair, lack of sleep, abundance of homework, and an absence of money have the tendency to put a damper on some people's days, among other things. Too many times, though, in today's society things are taken for granted. Imagine not having a place to sleep, having no means of education, or having all hard-earned funds taken by the government, not even leaving enough to feed the family. This is how it was for Englanders in the 1800s. The condition of the working-class in 19thcentury England was, without a doubt, disgusting and miserable.

Mid-18th century Britain brought poverty to everyday urban workers. With it, came an increase in child labor like never seen before. In order for a normal family to survive in the urban lifestyle, all members of a family had to work. This included children as young as four years to work as chimney sweepers, miners, and most popularized in 18th century Britain, factory workers. By the year 1800, children under the age of 14 in Britain’s factories accounted for 50% of the labor force (“Industrial Revolution, Child Labor”). Though the number continued to grow, all did not go unaccounted for. Romanticism, an effort opposite the movement, gave recognition to the emotional conflicts overlooked. Romanticism shed light on the daily struggles of the everyday man, woman, and the most neglected up until that period of time, the child. Throughout history, others have written about childhood, but Romantic poets began to question what it meant to be a child. The question, though not answered directly, later became revealed in their works where it exposed their belief systems. The role of the child in British Romantic Poetry represents the early life of Romantic poets, and the qualities they possessed in childhood.</p></div><div class="columns large-1-5 position-relative show-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col"><ul><li>827 Words</li><li>4 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns large-2 show-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-decent-essays"><div><span>Decent Essays</span></div></div><div class="small-12 medium-12 large-1-5 position-relative card-grade-essay-button-col"><a class="button text-m " href="/essay/The-Role-Of-The-Child-In-British-FYLC3MPKXQ6">Read More</a></div></div></li><li id="related-essay11"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-12 card box-shadow card-grade-essay paper no-padding"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 hide-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-better-essays"><div><span>Better Essays</span></div></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 position-relative hide-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col padding-left-1-imp"><a href="/essay/Elizabeth-Barrett-Brownings-The-Cry-Of-The-PCT5T5WE4LT" class="hide-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Elizabeth Barrett Browning's The Cry Of The Children</h2></a><ul><li>2012 Words</li><li>9 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-8 position-relative"><div class="card-grade-essay-preview-col show-for-large"><a href="/essay/Elizabeth-Barrett-Brownings-The-Cry-Of-The-PCT5T5WE4LT" class="show-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Elizabeth Barrett Browning's The Cry Of The Children</h2></a></div><p class="text-m break-word word-break text-ellipsis-after text-ellipsis-after">Elizabeth Barrett Browning wrote “The Cry of the Children” during the Victorian Age; her piece reflects on the relentless child labor during that time and describes the poor treatment of the children.

They worked in large factories for long hours at low pay. Often the work was dangerous and damaging to the health. Working class people didn't usually have a nutritious diet or healthy lifestyle and so were at risk of disease, which spread quickly in the crowed conditions, in which they lived and worked. Middle class boys meanwhile often went on to become the owners or directors of the factories in which the working class were employed. They were doctors and teachers and lawyers. The women married and they ran large suburban home, often with several servants. The middle class life was one of respectability and comfort. Members enjoyed a life of financial security and, although they did not live in luxury, they did not want for anything and were able to enjoy recreational activities such as seaside holidays in summer. The usual course for an upper class young man was a position in the army, government or church. The upper class life was drenched in tradition, the main source of income was from the large family estates (the upper class were the main landowners in Britain) and houses, which had been in the family for generations. Upper class men did not actually have any employment as such so their lives were an endless round of hunting seasons in the country house, shooting seasons at the Scottish estate and London ball seasons in the town house.
