All we know that children don't work nowadays. Their parents or other adults take care of them. But earlier in history, it was quite normal. Let's examine this situation. In Russia in 1882 there was the law which forbade children's labour up to twelve years. From 12-15 age there was the limitation for work time only eight hours a day and ban for night work. Also there was ban for children's work at the unhealthy manufactures. What could children do? They were allowed to make spoons, cane baskets, painting of wooden dishes. In England that time there was the beginning of the machine manufactures. They displaced hand labour. Every new machine was to take away "bread" from the workers, especially from poor people's children. Those machines were simple so women and children could work on them. But the manufacturers noticed that they could exploit children more profitable than adults. They could pay less and children couldn't defend their interests. Even children of five, six and seven ages had to work at the factories. Beside this, they were to pay fines for some rest or talk to neighbour.
Interesting, but these are true facts. I wonder, if modern children could work in such conditions?
