Question

SOMEONE PLEASE ANSWER THIS IS DUE!

In Britain in the 1800s, the minimum age to be a factory worker was
nine years old. Children aged 9 to 13 could work a maximum of nine
hours per day. Children aged 13 to 18 could work a maximum of twelve
hours per day. Think about how many hours you spend at school on a regular day.

Do you think the rules about children factory workers were fair? Explain
your answer.

Answer 1

No, this is not fair as children should not work and be taken advantage of.

Step-by-step explanation:

No, the rules were definitely not fair.

The work hours are way too long even for the grown-up person, as people need time to rest in order to be healthy and work well. Considering these are children in question, they need even more rest and sufficient care to be healthy.

Children should not work at all, as they are too young and should focus on education and growing up. They are also not yet independent people who can think and choose the best for themselves, so this is a direct violation of the child who is unable to make decisions for themselves. Employers and bosses can easily take advantage of the children this way. Employment of children is not fair in any context, especially not in such inhumane and hard working conditions.
