Why did manufacturers hire children to work in their factories? Factory owners could pay children less money than they paid adults. Children were able to complete more work than adults. Children could work for eight hours per day. Factory owners expected children to do demanding physical labor.Why did manufacturers hire children to work in their factories?

Answer: the reason people didn't pay anything or if they did wasn't a lot of money.

Step-by-step explanation:

The explanation for this is it was during the great depression so business either couldn't pay the kids money or they were greedy and only pay the bare minimum. Later with the real start of the industrial resolution, it wasn't until 1938 a year before the official start of WW2.
