The answer is:

improved working conditions for women and children

set working hours

minimum wages

unemployment and accident protection

- Before government legislation came in, companies in industrialization employed both women and children but they paid them with extremely low wage. (even lower than male labors which already really low to begin with).

- The legislation also put minimum amount of wages that can be given to the workers and maximum working hours before the companeis have to pay more for overtime in case they surpass it.

- The legislation to create organization such as OSHA protects the workers from falsely unemployed and forced the employers to follow a set of regulations to ensure workplace safety.
