Condition of Children

Condition of Children: In the book The Bitter Cry of Outcast London, Andrew Mearns wrote about why crime was more profitable than labouring in small low-paid factories. Larger number of children were pushed into low-paid work even by their own parents. Only after the passing of two acts, viz., Compulsory Elementary Education Act (1870) and the Factory Act (1902), the condition of children was changed and they were kept out of industrial work.
