Answer
The word delicacy usually means something highly valuable or expensive. Such as "the pearls were a delicacy", meaning that they were valuable, expensive. Does that answer your question?
Explanation:
Well, I do not know what the "Kids at Work" text is but I will give you the best answer concerning this.
Industrialization changed the nature of children's work because it introduced them to jobs that are relatively easy but still require basic human skills to complete.
Children did not have to have much experience to work in factories as the tasks they did were pretty repetitive. This allowed more children to be able to work in factories (as they did not need an education).
However, there came some very scary consequences from industrialization. Although manufactured goods were now cheap and easy to produce, the labor needed was like I state earlier, not skill based for the most part.
This led to a large amount of people (including children) now working in these jobs which did not require skill and thus, because of the large amount of people needing jobs, the wages that were paid could be very. very low.
To add to this, the working conditions were very dangerous. Many workers and kids died from issues that the company could have fixed but chose not too because there was no safety regulation and it would cost unnecessary amounts of money.
Kids worked long hours because many families needed as much work put in as they could get because of the lack of job positions that paid well.
After a long time, we finally began to develop some rules regarding business as well as child labor.
The cold, hard truth about this though is that child labor is still very common in other countries and its a hard issue to stop. We even depend on it so although people may be against child labor, politicians know that the reason why prices are cheap are because of child labor and abusive systems like that.
Industrialization led to some dark, dark ways in which employers manipulated people
