Read the text and choose True, False or Doesn't say: When children had to workWhile it is common for teenagers in many countries tohave part-time jobs, there are restrictions about thenumber of hours they can work and the types of jobsthey can do. The aim of these rules is to protect youngpeople from exploitation. National and internationallaws prohibit younger children from working at all. But ithasn't always been like that.Life wasn't easy in 18th-century Britain, especially forchildren. They often had to work on farms to help theirfamilies. Things got even worse at the end of thecentury when machines were invented and the firstfactories opened. Operating the machines did notrequire physical strength, and children could be hiredmore cheaply than adults. By the mid-1800s, childlabour was a major problem.The factory owners wanted big profits and didn't careabout the health of the workers. The children whoworked in the factories were often treated badly. Theyhad to be in the factory for more than 12 hours everyday. Sometimes, they had to work at night. They couldn'tgo to school, so they never learned new skills andcouldn't find better jobs when they grew up. Many ofthem couldn't even read and write.Many people, like the English writer Charles Dickens,protested against child labour. He worked in one of thefactories himself and described his experience in thenovel Oliver Twist. Unfortunately, the employment ofchildren in British factories continued until the late 19thcentury, when child labour was finally banned.Choose True, False or Doesn't say:1.
