Second Report of the Children’s Employment Commission
The article summarizes the Second Report of the Children’s Employment Commission of 1845, detailing the physical and moral decline among child workers in mines and factories across the United Kingdom. It notes early starts to work, long hours, abusive apprenticeship systems around Wolverhampton, and widespread ignorance and demoralization linked to poor moral and religious training. It also cites inadequate schooling, uneven regulation, and calls for government and legislative action, with commissioners stating no current means to materially improve conditions.
