Passage of child labor laws.
Those laws (along with state compulsory-schooling laws passed around the same period) legally restricted employers from using child and adolescent labor, forcing many young people out of the workplace and into schools. The Industrial Revolution created the conditions for widespread child work, but it was the legal reforms limiting child labor and requiring attendance that produced the biggest shift toward education.
