How can we learn from knowing about these people?

Child labor

vs

 21century children

Children at hard work, younger than us teens.

Us children in the 21st century has a life of choice and support. The children in the time of child labor didn't and were forced to work. If i had a choice to work or not i would be able to choose those kids in the industrial age had no rights. The young children in the industrial age worked a lot of shifts. Some even younger than us teens. Their work days would often be 10 to 14 hours with minimal breaks during the shifts and us children would stay home and only have to listen to our parents they needed to listen to their factory owners. These children would be in a higher chance of dying then we do. When they work the machinery often ran so quickly that little fingers, arms and even their legs could possibly get caught easily.
      Us teen age and young kids have no choice but to stay home or listen to our parents the children in the industrial age would have died for just staying in the factories, the factories would have fumes and toxins. If the children inhaled it they will most likely to get very sick, have chronic conditions or disease.
