This book is an historical examination of the evolution and rationale behind the legislation to protect child workers in factories during the Industrial Revolution. It documents the harmful effects of employing young children in the textile industry in the early 1800s, compelling the passage of the first child labor law in England in 1802. The author details the major amendments to the child labor laws in England, France, and elsewhere, up until the twentieth century. Throughout, the book demonstrates that protecting child laborers was a major factor in the overall evolution of labor protections and the expansion of the social safety net in the industrial West.
