In 1833 the Government passed a Factory Act to improve conditions for children working in factories. Young children were working very long hours in workplaces where conditions were often terrible. The basic act was as follows:
<span>no child workers under nine years of age, employers must have an age certificate for their child workers, children of 9-13 years to work no more than nine hours a day, children of 13-18 years to work no more than 12 hours a day, children are not to work at night, two hours schooling each day for children, for factory inspectors appointed to enforce the law</span>
However, the passing of this act did not mean that the mistreatment of children stopped overnight. Using these sources, investigate how the far the act had solved the problems of child labor.
Answer:
The United States provides humanitarian aid to decrease poverty
The more prosperous citizens have money to spend
U.S. companies are able to sell goods to a new group of customers.
Explanation:
Humanitarian aid provided by the government has a very clear objective, to raise and establish a network of customers. This is because the countries that need community aid do not have citizens who are in a positive economic situation and are unable to consume many national products, much less foreign ones.
In this case, when a government offers humanitarian aid, it hopes that this aid will promote the economic prosperity of citizens, as a result, these citizens will become buyers and the government that offered aid will have more customers. As an example, we can present the diagram:
- The United States provides humanitarian aid to decrease poverty
- The more prosperous citizens have money to spend
- U.S. companies are able to sell goods to a new group of customers.
