Question

i need it for research for voluntering

Answer 1

tough, harsh, low pay, long hours, multiple jobs per bread maker in a family, no guranteed of longer term employment, and lack of employment act/ law protection.

Answer 2

Very poor. People had to work long hours (12 to 16 hours a day), six days a week, for very low pay. If you were a woman or child, you received less money than a man doing the same job. Children as young as three were employed to help their families make enough money to survive. The children were especially useful because they could fit into the small spaces around the moving machinery to gather fallen material so that the machinery did not have to stop.

The working areas were poorly ventilated and usually dimly lit. If you got hurt on the job and couldn't work, you were fired - no workman's comp or insurance. Because of the poor pay, women would often sedate their infants to keep them quiet while they were at work with laudanum (an opiate). Between the poor living conditions, working conditions, age at which children started working, and lack of nutrition, many children did not see their 5th birthday.

Interesting fact: At the beginning of World War I, the British Army discovered that there was almost a 6 inch difference, on average, in the height of an upper class or wealthy individual and that of a worker. The upper class height was approximately 6 feet and the working class height was approximately 5 foot 6 inches.

Answer 3

first of all, you should work on your grammar.

conditions is plural. so if you are using the present tense, it wouldn't be "what is the working conditions" but "what are the working conditions."
however, the industrial revolution is in the PAST and therefore we use the PAST tense, but still plural! following?
"what were the working conditions like during the Industrial Revolution?"

Answer 4

bad
business owners enslaved people(virtually), making them work till they were no longer productive, then tossing them aside like garbage.
continues today in lands across the ocean, China, India, Indonesia,
etc.
