INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION
All aspects of human life economic activities were affected by the
Industrial Revolution; agriculture,shipping and all forms of
manufacturing were affected. As a result, this impacted on how
young children were cared for and protected. The Industrial
Revolution created a major demand for labour. More people
were needed to operate the machines and equipment that
came with industrialisation. As result, other social effects of the IR
and the war were being experienced such as breaking up
separation of families due to employment demands. Many
children were left abandoned or orphaned and so the system of
orphanages increased to care for and provide some form of early
learning experiences for the children
The IR is also known to have resulted in child labour
practices,children were easy targets for work demand because of
their passiveness and ignorance regarding their rights
