Describe the changes that children were experiencing during the 1920s?

NOTE: THIS WAS DURING THE GREAT DEPRESSION!!!

First of all youth were expected to hold jobs that contributed to the welfare of the family. students were able to remain in school longer and an adolescent culture developed. both men and women were working outside the home, so youth were expected to have greater responsibility.

With record unemployment... Children competed for jobs with their elders in an effort to make a contribution to their families.

In fact , about 1 million children age 10 to 15 were working in America in 1920 (out of a total population of 12 million kids in that age range). About half worked on family farms. The rest did everything else, working in factories, trained as apprentices, and served as messengers.

I do hope this helped you good luck! A Grade 8

Answer:

Out of school hours, many children helped with household chores, ran errands and looked after the younger ones in the family as families tended to be much larger in the 1920s. Fee-paying pupils or those at grammar school had the option of staying on at school until the age of 18.

The 1920s was a decade of profound social changes. The most obvious signs of change were the rise of a consumer-oriented economy and of mass entertainment, which helped to bring about a "revolution in morals and manners." Sexual mores, gender roles, hair styles, and dress all changed profoundly during the 1920s.

With the Great Depression, many families lost their farms and migrated to urban areas in search of work and aid from President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal government programs. With record unemployment, children competed for jobs with their elders in an effort to make a contribution to their families.

Turns out, about 1 million children age 10 to 15 were working in America in 1920 (out of a total population of 12 million kids in that age range). About half worked on family farms. The rest did everything else, working in factories, trained as apprentices, and served as messengers.
