before parliamentary acts were passed to regulate working, how many hours per day did most children work?

Sagot :

Before parliamentary acts were passed to regulate working, most children worked for 16 hours per day.

Many young people labored in appalling conditions for 16 hours a day alongside their elders. As early as 1802 and 1819, ineffective parliamentary acts were introduced to limit the amount of time that children from workhouses may spend working in industries and cotton mills to 12 hours each day.

A royal commission appointed by the Whig government recommended in 1833 that children aged 11 to 18 be permitted to work a maximum of twelve hours per day, children 9 to 11 were allowed to work eight-hour days, and children under nine were no longer permitted to work at all. This recommendation followed years of radical agitation, most notably in 1831 when "Short Time Committees" led largely by Evangelicals started demanding a ten-hour day (children as young as 3 had been put to work previously).
