Why were children often hired to work in factories during the Industrial Revolution? (1 point)
• Men were too busy on the family farm to work in factories, so factory owners needed to hire children.
• 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.
• Factories were too dangerous for women to work in, so factory owners hired children instead.
• Children could fit into tight spaces between the machines and could be paid smaller wages, so factory owners hired them.
