The explоitаtiоn оf child lаbor wаs an unfortunate aspect of the Industrial Revolution. In early industrial countries like England, children worked long hours in unsafe conditions. The English Parliament organized [BLANK-1], which interviewed mine workers and employers to examine the conditions and to investigate the effects of child labor (as well as the moral concerns regarding women and girls working alongside men in the mines). The investigation revealed atrocious working conditions, sexual and physical abuse, and an unsavory environment for children. It led directly to the Mines Act of 1842, which banned women and girls from working underground in Britain and banned children under 10 from working in the mines.
