Child labour in the USA
In the last quarter of the 19th century American industry was quickly developing. There appeared more jobs for children. The percentage of working children from 10 to 15 years of age increased. The official figure is 1.75 million, but the true number was much greater. In 1900 at least 18 percent of children under the age of 16 were employed. In southern cotton mills 25 percent of the employees were below the age of 15, and 50 percent of these children were below the age of 12. Horrible conditions of work for many child labourers brought the issue to public attention.
