what was life like for the poor in 1902?

Question

history homework

Answer 1

hard, dirty, ill health and the spectre of the Workhouse

Answer 2

Depends on what you mean by poor to be honest. There was no social security, no national health care people died from diseases that today simple antibiotics would treat. Housing was bad no central heating fires very damp.
Try and think of everything we have today health care etc and what it would be like without.
Children were put into workhouses to work many hours.
Many children did not make their first or second birthday many women died in childbirth.
I think to be born very poor would have been the death of you.
(not you but people in general).
Not much help but hopes it guides you in the right way
