Question

Why were children often hired in factories during the Industrial Revolution?(1 point)
Responses

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 similar wages, so factory owners hired them

Factories were too dangerous for women to work in, so factory owners hired children instead

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
