Why were children often hired to work in factories
during the Industrial Revolution? (1 point)
There were no schools for children who lived in the
city, so factory owners hired them so they had
something to do during the day.
Men were too busy on the family farm to work in
factories, so factory owners needed to hire children.
Children could fit into tight spaces between
machines and could be paid smaller wages, so
factory owners hired them.
Factories were too dangerous for women to work in,
so factory owners hired children instead.
