This is what I am to write about:

Question

As industry spread, the British government initiated reforms to improve workers' lives. What motivated reforms in Britain? What kinds of reforms were enacted in Britain? Respond in two or more well-organized paragraphs. Be sure to use specific examples.
The question that I would like to get answered is:

What reformation act had the "accident insurance" and "old age pension"?

What other reforms were there that helped improve workers' lives?

Those are the only questions I would like answered.
I know that there were specific Reformation Acts but I can't find exactly which ones.
Thank you to those who answered my questions!

How about child labor laws?

Was the workday shortened during this time?

Answer 2

This Wikipedia entry should get you started. Click on the "history - industrial revolution" in the table of contents to find worker's compensation (accident insurance). For pensions, you can google that yourself. Enter "old age pensions - history - UK" in your browser and see what you can find.
