How much did child laborers get paid

Child Labor in the Industrial Revolution - HISTORY CRUNCH

CHILD LABOR IN THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION

The Industrial Revolution was a major event in world history and had a profound effect on societies around the world. In particular, the Industrial Revolution impacted the lives of working class people and the children of industrial societies. Child labor was a common feature in industrial societies as children as young as four years old were often employed in the factories and mines that developed during the time. This was particularly true in Britain, where the Industrial Revolution first began in the 1700s.

Child labor was especially common in the late 18th century, during the early years of the Industrial Revolution. At the time, industrial cities and towns grew dramatically due to the migration of farmers and their families who were looking for work in the newly developed factories and mines. The living conditions in the cities and towns were miserable and characterized by: overcrowding, poor sanitation, spread of diseases, and pollution. As well, workers were paid low wages that barely allowed them to afford the cost of living associated with their rent and food. As a result, many of these working-class families needed the extra income that their children earned while working.

For their part, factory owners wanted to employ children for several reasons. First, children generally made considerably less than adults did for doing the same work. For example, some estimates show that children were paid between 10-20% that of an adult. Therefore, the owners saved money by employing children. Second, children were generally more obedient than adults in terms of completing work and accepting punishment. Factory overseers, who were employed as managers of the factory floor, were known to whip or beat employees that were late for work. For example, in an interview in 1819, John Fairbrother commented that he had seen his master “with a horse whip standing outside the mill when the children have come too late [and] he lashed them all the way to the mill. ” Therefore, the factory owners hired children because they were easier to control and more likely to accept punishment. Whereas, an adult made have resisted or fought back. Finally, children were hired during the Industrial Revolution because they naturally smaller and could fit into tighter spaces. This was especially important in the new mechanized factories of the late 18th century. For example, textile mills had machinery that spun thread at high speeds. Sometimes these machines jammed or became clogged. The small fingers and hands of the children were ideal for unclogging these machines, which made children important in the production process. Therefore, factory owners employed children because it helped in the production of goods.

Child Labor in the Industrial Revolution

The factories and mines of the late 18th century and early 19th century were dangerous and unforgiving places to work in. The working conditions that working-class people faced were known to include: long hours of work (12-16 hour shifts), low wages that barely covered the cost of living, and workplaces with little or no rights. These conditions were difficult for all workers but especially so for children. As such, children often faced incredible hardships and suffered abuse in the workplace. To better understand the situation, its first important to understand the political ideology of the time, which historians refer to as classical liberalism. Classical liberalism is an ideology characterized by laissez-faire capitalism, which means that the government played as little a role in the economy as possible. As a result, there were little to no rules in place for workers in the Industrial Revolution, and the wealthy owners could act in any manner that they wanted. For example, the factories and mines were incredibly dangerous places with very few safeguards.

Child Labor in the Industrial Revolution

Spinning machines in textile mills were often left unguarded and posed a serious risk. For instance, a report from the British House of Commons in 1832 commented that “There are factories, no means few in number, nor confined to the smaller mills, in which serious accidents are continually occurring, and in which, notwithstanding, dangerous parts of the machinery are allowed to remain unfenced.” This situation caused children to become injured, as they were working dangerously close to spinning belts and shafts that powered the machines. Furthermore, children were often required to work on machines that they were not tall enough to operate safely. For example, in the image to the left the boy is too short to operate the machine and must stand on top of it in order to reach the spindles. As well, in the image a large spinning belt is clearly shown and it is not guarded. Any loose fitting clothing could easily become clogged and pull him violently into the workings of the machine. This possibility was best evidenced in the 1828 Memoir of Robert Blincoe by John Brown.

In the memoir he recounts witnessing a scene of horror. “A girl named Mary Richards, who was thought remarkably pretty when she left the workhouse, and, who was not quite ten years of age, attended a drawing frame, below which, and about a foot from the floor, was a horizontal shaft, by which the frames above were turned. It happened one evening, when her apron was caught by the shaft. In an instant the poor girl was drawn by an irresistible force and dashed on the floor. She uttered the most heart-rending shrieks! The factory overseer ran towards her, an agonized and helpless beholder of a scene of horror. He saw her whirled round and round with the shaft - he heard the bones of her arms, legs, thighs, etc. successively snap asunder, crushed, seemingly, to atoms, as the machinery whirled her round, and drew tighter and tighter her body within the works, her blood was scattered over the frame and streamed upon the floor, her head appeared dashed to pieces - at last, her mangled body was jammed in so fast, between the shafts and the floor, that the water being low and the wheels off the gear, it stopped the main shaft. When she was extricated, every bone was found broken - her head dreadfully crushed. She was carried off quite lifeless.” These types of situations occurred because children were given clothing that did not fit. Also, as shown in the earlier image, they were sometimes required to operate machines without any protection at all, such as shoes.

Child Labor in Textile Mill

Because children were small and could fit into tighter spaces, they were often tasked with unclogging machines that had stopped operating. As a result, children often suffered horrible injuries to their hands and fingers when the machines suddenly began working again. For example, a doctor from Manchester, England gave the following report in an 1819 interview. “When I was a surgeon in the infirmary, accidents were very often admitted to the infirmary, through the children's hands and arms having being caught in the machinery; in many instances the muscles, and the skin is stripped down to the bone, and in some instances a finger or two might be lost. Last summer I visited Lever Street School. The number of children at that time in the school, who were employed in factories, was 106. The number of children who had received injuries from the machinery amounted to very nearly one half. There were forty-seven injured in this way.” As his report suggests, the injuries that the children suffered were painful and disfiguring and relatively common.

Another hardship that many workers faced in the factories was the grueling heat produced by the numerous machines. Factories in the Industrial Revolution were cramped and contained spaces. Often times, they were built without windows or proper ventilation and as a result the machines would quickly cause the inside temperature of the factory to increase dramatically. For example, in 1824, William Cobbett, a British parliamentarian commented on his visit to a factory. “What… must be the situation of the poor children who are doomed to toil fourteen hours a day, in an average of eighty-two degrees? Can any man, with a heart in his body, and a tongue in his head, refrain from cursing a system that produces such slavery and such cruelty?”

Not only were children forced to work in hot, dangerous and cramped conditions, but if they were injured on the job they had little to no rights to receive compensation. Because the government practised laissez-faire capitalism, this meant that they did not have initiatives in place to force factories to protect workers or to compensate them when they became injured and could no longer work. For example, a report from the British House of Commons in 1832 commented that “workers are often abandoned from the moment that an accident occurs; their wages are stopped, no medical attendance is provided, and whatever the extent of the injury, no compensation is afforded.”

Child laborer (Neil Gallagher) who was injured in an accident at a Pennsylvania mine during the time of the Industrial Revolution. He was just 13 years old.

Child Labor (Mining) in the Industrial Revolution. From the Pennsylvania Coal Company in 1911.

As well as working in factories, many children were also employed in coal mines. Coal was one of the key resources necessary for industrialization and one of the reasons that Britain was the first country to industrialize in the 1700s. As well, with the creation of the steam engine, coal became an even more important resource as it was used to power the factories and methods of transportation, such as: ships and trains. Children were used in coal mines to do all sorts of work. In general, their small bodies were ideal for going into deep channels in order to carry coal to the surface. This was a common job completed by children and involved them being connected to a coal cart by a strap so that they could pull the cart of coal behind them. As well, children were also used to sort coal and remove any impurities. Coal mining was difficult and dangerous work for children for several reasons, including: the mine shafts were constantly susceptible to collapse and the air quality was extremely poor and led to breathing problems.

In all, child labor was a common feature of the Industrial Revolution and involved children suffering under horrible and abusive conditions. Whether it was in factories, mines or other workplaces, children were expected to work in hot and dangerous conditions for low amounts of pay and long gruelling hours.

Karl Marx

Robert Owen

Eventually, people began to protest these conditions and argue that child labor should be outlawed or there should be limits placed upon the employment of children. In general, the movement to end child labor coincided with the rise of socialist ideologies such as utopian socialism and Marxism. For example, Robert Owen, a utopian socialist, believed it was important and necessary for business owners to operate profitable businesses that made them wealthy, he also believed it was important that the workers in these businesses were treated fairly. In his own mills, Owen improved the life of his employees in many ways including: creating a company store in which employees could buy goods, limiting the hours of workers, offering basic healthcare, and providing education for both children and adults. Karl Marx, the famous socialist writer, was also highly critical of child labor in the Industrial Revolution. In the Communist Manifesto, which is the book that he wrote with fellow socialist, Friedrich Engels, he discussed the failing of capitalism and classical liberalism in relation to how the poorest in society were taken advantage of by the richest. As such, he was critical of child labor in terms of it being an exploitation of the poor by the wealthy. Charles Dickens, the famous British playwright criticized the use of child labor in several of his plays, including: A Christmas Carol and Oliver Twist. Many of his writing were set in the timeframe of the Industrial Revolution and often questioned the gaps that existed between the wealthy and the working-class, especially in terms of how it impacted children in British industrial society.

The first major legislation created to place limits on child labor were a series of Factory Acts passed by the British parliament throughout the 1800s. These acts limited the number of hours that children could work and placed regulations on workplaces in terms of safety and cleanliness. For example, by 1819, the Factory Acts limited the workday for British children at 12 hours. By 1833, child labor was further regulated when it became illegal for children under 9 years old to work, and children under 13 were not allowed to work more than 9 hours a day.

Working Conditions

Simply, the working conditions were terrible during the Industrial Revolution. As factories were being built, businesses were in need of workers. With a long line of people willing to work, employers could set wages as low as they wanted because people were willing to do work as long as they got paid. People worked fourteen to sixteen hours a day for six days a week. However, the majority were unskilled workers, who only received about $8-$10 dollars a week, working at approximately 10 cents an hour. Skilled workers earned a little more, but not significantly more. Women received one-third or sometimes one-half the pay that men received. Children received even less. Owners, who were only concerned with making a profit, were satisfied because labor costed less.

Factories were not the best places to work. The only light present was the sunlight that came through the windows. Machines spit out smoke and in some factories, workers came out covered in black soot by the end of the day. There were a plethora of machines with not many safety precautions. This resulted in many accidents. The workers only received a break for lunch and a break for dinner.

Children were paid less than 10 cents an hour for fourteen hour days of work. They were used for simpler, unskilled jobs. Many children had physical deformities because of the lack of exercise and sunlight. The use of children as labor for such long hours with little pay led to the formation of labor unions.

Labor Unions formed because workers finally wanted to put a stop to long hours with little pay. They demanded more pay and fairer treatment. They did not want children to work in factories because of the danger involved. Labor unions organized strikes and protests. However, as more immigrants came to the United States, more workers became available. These workers were willing to work, even if others were not because of unfair treatment. This lessened the effect of the labor unions since businesses had no shortage of workers. This is why most labor unions were unsuccessful.

Living Conditions

As business began to boom and the national markets grew, more people began to move to the Northeast because they wanted jobs. Most people lived in the "slum" as depicted in the picture to the left. Five to nine people lived in a single room which was as big as an apartment. Not only was there not enough room, but more people got sick as well. Because everyone lived in terrible conditions and so close to one another, diseases spread rapidly and lack of medicine and medical care resulted in many deaths. At the time, population was increasing rapidly because of more people moving in, so apartments became more crowded and in worse condition. These were the people that lived every lives that had to fight for jobs and competed to live.

As industrialization occurred, the middle class emerged. The middle class, skilled workers, managers, clerks, accountants, and others, had the money they needed to survive, and had money left over for other leisure goods. This extra money enabled them to live comfortably. Most moved away from the cities because they thought the "slum" was unhygienic and unpleasant. This led to the beginning of suburbs, or socially segregated neighborhoods. However, the majority of the people living in industrialized areas lived in terrible, harsh conditions because of the lack of money and the overwhelming population.

What benefits we didn't mention

The article does not contain information about payments for a child from a large family or from a military family. There is still no information here for families in which a child with a disability is brought up. We described federal and regional benefits and payments for such families in separate articles:

Benefits and payments to large families
Benefits for single mothers
Benefits and payments for a child with a disability

Pregnancy

It is beneficial for the state that children are born healthy. For this, a pregnant woman needs to visit a doctor, take tests, do an ultrasound - all this helps to detect and eliminate problems in the development of the child in time. So that pregnant women do not delay a visit to the doctor, the state is ready to pay them money for early registration for pregnancy - up to 12 weeks, but only for those who have a low level of income. nine0006

So what? 07/01/21

Pregnancy allowance in 2022: basic conditions

How much. 50% of the subsistence minimum in the region where the woman lives. On average, 7586 R, but depending on the region, the amount will be more or less. For example, in the Belgorod region it is 6372.5 R, and in the Krasnoyarsk Territory - 8420.5 R.

Living wages for the able-bodied population by region

Who is supposed to. Pregnant women may qualify for this benefit if the following conditions are met:

The 12th week of pregnancy has come.
The average per capita income for each family member does not exceed the subsistence level.
The family does not have "excess property". If a family owns several apartments and their total area is such that each family member has more than 24 m², then the allowance will not be given. Three cars in a family is also grounds for denial of benefits.
Family members have income or objective reasons why they do not have this income. This is called the “zero income rule”: help those who are trying to provide for themselves and their families, and not those who want to live only on benefits. There may be no income, for example, if a woman was on parental leave for up to 3 years. This is a good reason for the lack of income. nine0082

Self-employed women can also receive this allowance if they meet the above conditions.

How to get. To do this, you need to go to the local gynecologist in the first three months and get a card. Then you will need to submit an application through the public services website or in person to the FIU branch of your region.

No proof of pregnancy or income is required. The FIU will request information itself, but sometimes confirmation is required if there is not enough information in the databases. nine0006

You can apply from the 6th week of pregnancy. But the allowance will come only from the 12th week - monthly until the month of childbirth.

In order to receive benefits on the card, a pregnant woman will have to get a Mir payment system card. Details are indicated in the application.

/pregnancy-money/

All benefits for pregnancy and childbirth

Additional benefits in Moscow for pregnant women. In the capital, pregnant women with a Moscow residence permit who are registered with Moscow medical organizations up to 20 weeks of pregnancy will be paid a lump sum by social security 690 Р.

How parents can get money from the state

We will tell you in the free Glass of Water mailing list: once a week we send a letter about the financial side of parenthood

Pregnancy

In everyday life, this money is called "maternity". The allowance is paid once before going on maternity leave to compensate the woman for the loss of salary before and after the birth of the child.

According to the law, you can go on maternity leave at 30 weeks - this is the seventh month of pregnancy. In some cases, earlier. At the antenatal clinic, they will write out a sick leave, which will need to be given to the employer, and if the sheet is electronic, then report its number. nine0006

/guide/dekretnyj-otpusk/

How to apply for maternity leave

How much. The minimum amount of maternity leave for those working under an employment contract is 70,324.8 R for the entire period of sick leave, the maximum for 140 days of maternity leave is 360,164 R.

To receive payments, the expectant mother must bring a sick leave or report the number of an electronic disability certificate. The accounting department will take the data from the sick leave, transfer the information to the FSS, and the latter will pay benefits. Maternity leave can only be obtained in three ways:

to the Mir card;
to a bank account to which no card is linked;
postal order.

Who is supposed to. All pregnant women working under an employment contract, full-time students, female civil servants, municipal employees, military personnel.

Women who have been laid off can receive benefits if their employer ceased operations and laid off employees, and they were registered with the employment service within a year. True, the amount in this case will be quite symbolic. nine0006

How to get. The allowance is issued on the basis of a sick leave issued by an obstetrician-gynecologist. A woman must write an application addressed to the employer and attach a sick leave to it. Since 2022, this allowance has been transferred without any application at all.

RF GD dated 11/23/2021 No. 2010PDF, 1.2 MB

How to receive a salary while on maternity leave. It is impossible to be on maternity leave and work under an employment contract at the same time, but an employer can conclude a civil law contract with a pregnant employee, according to which she has the right to work remotely. You need to choose one thing. A woman may not go on maternity leave if she does not want to. Or get out of it even immediately after giving birth - if, for example, you are ready to work remotely. nine0006

A woman with individual entrepreneur status can also receive maternity leave, if she voluntarily insured herself with the FSS. This must be done in the previous year before the year of pregnancy and insurance premiums must be paid. To do this, we multiply the minimum wage by 2.9% - this is the percentage rate of the social insurance contribution. Then we multiply the received amount by 12 months.

/dekret-abroad/

How to go on maternity leave from abroad

To go on maternity leave in 2023 and receive benefits, you need to pay 4833. 72 rubles to the FSS in 2022.

The number 4833.62 was taken from the formula: 13,890 R × 2.9% × 12 months, where 13,890 R is the minimum wage from January 1 to May 31, 2022, 2.9% is the contribution rate to the Social Insurance Fund.

In districts and localities where district coefficients are applied to wages, they are also taken into account when calculating the payment in the FSS.

The contribution can be paid in one payment, or in installments, but must be paid before December 31, 2022. When the time comes to apply for maternity leave, the entrepreneur will submit an application for grants and sick leave to the FSS, and in return she will receive 70,324.8 R or a little more on her card if the minimum wage is increased. nine0006

What to do? 07/15/19

How can an individual entrepreneur receive maternity payments?

Maternity benefits are not subject to personal income tax - the expectant mother will receive the entire amount without deducting 13%.

How to get the maximum maternity pay

You need to work under an employment contract, and the salary should be white, not gray.
The average monthly salary for two years must not be lower than 78,250 R before deducting personal income tax.
If you work in several places at the same time, each employer will pay maternity leave, but on the condition that you have worked at another place of work for at least two years. In this case, ask the antenatal clinic to write out a sick leave for each place of work. nine0082
If you have changed jobs in the last two years, take a certificate of salary from your previous job in form 182n. Your employer will take this earnings into account when calculating maternity leave.

If the maternity pay period fell on another maternity or parental benefit period, you can replace it with previous years to account for wages and get more money. We have a detailed article on how to independently calculate maternity payments.

At birth

Lump sum at birth

When a child is born, the state compensates parents for part of the costs. Moreover, one of the parents can receive this money, regardless of who exactly goes on parental leave.

The size of the salary doesn't matter either. Even the unemployed will be paid.

/guide/moneyforborn/

How to get benefits when a child is born

How much. From February 1, 2022 - 20,472.77 R. Guardians, trustees or adoptive parents will receive the same amount. If they take a child over 7 years old, or relatives, or a disabled child, the amount of the payment is 156,428.66 R.

Regional allowances. Regions add their own payments to the lump-sum allowance at the birth of a child. To receive them, one of the parents and the child must be registered in this region.

For example, in the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug - Yugra, when registering the birth of a child in the registry office of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug, the region pays 20,000 RUR.

In St. - 46 372 R, for the third and subsequent children - 57 962 R. This card can be used to pay for the purchase of children's goods in most large stores in the city.

Who is supposed to. One of the child's parents. If both work - dad or mom, by choice. If the parents are unemployed, you can also choose who exactly will apply. If only one person works, he will receive the money, there are no options. For example, dad has an employment contract, but mom doesn’t. The allowance will be paid to the father of the child, but the mother will not be able to issue it.

If the parents are not married, the person with whom the child lives will receive the money, regardless of employment. nine0006

How to get. The payment is made by one of the parents at the place of work. A certificate is required from the second parent that he did not receive this payment.

If both parents are unemployed, the allowance is issued in the pension fund at the place of residence.

Regional Newborn Boxes

Newborn Box available in select regions. This is a gift set that is given to parents or adoptive parents upon discharge from the maternity hospital. This box contains baby clothes, accessories for feeding, swaddling, bathing. nine0006

Kit varies by region. The conditions for issuance also differ. In Samara, such a gift is given to mothers who have given birth to their first child. In Tatarstan, the set is given to low-income families. In Vologda, you can get a box for every newborn.

What to do? 02/21/19

How to get the status of a low-income family and why

In Moscow, they give a "Sobyanin's box" to all parents, regardless of their place of residence, but subject to two conditions:

Their children were born in Moscow maternity hospitals.
They received their birth certificate in Moscow.

But the term is limited to two months. You will need to write an application, as well as submit documents that parents did not receive such a set at the maternity hospital.

From February 18, 2020, instead of a set of things, parents can receive compensation of 20,000 R. The amount is paid for each child born. If at least one of the parents has a registration in Moscow, the payment is processed at the regional department of social protection of the population. nine0006

If there is no registration, and only the birth of a child is registered in Moscow, then parents should contact the My Documents public services center. The decision on payment is made within 10 days, and the payment itself is transferred in the next month.

Additional allowances in Moscow at the birth of a child

One-time compensation payment for reimbursement of expenses in connection with the birth (adoption) of a child.

Who is entitled to. nine0122 Mother, father or other adult caring for the child. It could also be a grandmother. Only one person will receive the benefit. Vacation can be taken in turn: for example, first mom, then father, and then grandmother.

How to get. They make payments at the place of work, and if the mother or father is unemployed, an application must be submitted to the social security at the place of residence.

How to get a job and keep your monthly allowance

During parental leave, a mother cannot work full time or she will lose her monthly allowance. At the same time, the law allows you to work part-time or work from home. And there is one trick here. nine0006
Judging by article 93 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, part-time work can be considered both part-time and part-time work.

Since a full working day is 8 hours and a full working week is 40 hours, the parties must find an option for the employee to work a little or the prescribed 8 hours every day, but not on all days of the week.

Here it is necessary to take into account the position of the FSS and the Supreme Court - the child care allowance compensates for lost earnings. If the mother has not lost her earnings, then she has nothing to compensate. Sometimes the assigned allowance is even cancelled. nine0006

Putin's payments
On January 1, 2018, the law on monthly payments to families with children came into force. According to it, you can receive a monthly payment for the first or second child. This is not maternity leave or a child care allowance, but an additional measure of support.

People call the new allowance "Putin's payments". They do not replace, overlap or cancel other benefits. The payment is not provided as a one-time payment, but is paid every month to the bank card of the mother - or father, if the mother has died or she has been deprived of parental rights. nine0006

How I got Putin's payments per child

Putin's allowance is one regional living wage per child per month. When applying for payment in 2022, the allowance will be assigned in the amount of the subsistence minimum for the current year. For example, in Moscow it will be R17,791, in Novosibirsk it will be R14,562, and in Vladivostok it will be R17,628. nine0006

Parents whose first or second child was born or adopted after January 1, 2018 can receive payments. Guardians can also claim payments - in the event of the death of parents or adoptive parents, they are declared dead, deprivation of parental rights, or in case of cancellation of adoption.

The applicant must be a citizen of Russia and permanently reside on the territory of the Russian Federation.

The child must be a citizen of Russia. For example, if the birth was in the Russian Federation, but both parents are foreign citizens, then by default the child is not granted Russian citizenship. nine0082
The average per capita family income for the billing period is no more than two regional living wages for the current year for the able-bodied population. The billing period is 12 months preceding the 6 months prior to the circulation month.

GD of the Novosibirsk Region dated May 31, 2022 No. 250-p

For the first child, the payment is made in social security. On the second - in the pension fund, because it will reduce maternity capital.

The allowance is granted for up to one year, and then it must be extended to two and three years. nine0006
Money can now be received only on the Mir card or on an account that is not linked to any cards.
