Why is it necessary for the government to enact laws to improve the working conditions in factories?

Answer»

The early factories were dreadful places of work. Industrial work had to face several hardships. They are

1. They had to work for more than 12 hours a day. 

2. Machines could be worked by even unskilled people So they were expelled from their jobs.

3. A large number of women and children were employed and made to work for meagre wages. 

4. The children under 14 years of age were given hard jobs like pulling and pushing heavy loads and working near dangerous machines. 

5. The workers were forced to live in makeshift houses and shelters. 

6. Their areas of residence had little sanitation and their houses lacked proper ventilation and health facilities. 

7. Accidents, diseases and epidemics were common in their slums.

So it is very much necessary for the governments to enact laws to improve the working conditions.
