Question

Question

Industrialists preferred to employ women and children
Children were employed in textile factories because it was easy for them to move between tightly packed machinery
Women were paid more than men as they worked very hard
More women were employed because they did not complain about long working hours

Answer 1

Even though women had to work more hours than men , they were paid very less compared to men. Hence, Option 3 is NOT correct.

The Industrial Revolution was a time of important changes in the way that children and women worked.
As the use of machinery spread and fewer workers were needed, industrialists preferred to employ women and children who would be less agitated about their poor working conditions and work for lower wages than men.
Machinery like the cotton spinning jenny was designed to be used by child workers with their small build and nimble fingers.
Children were often employed in textile factories because they were small enough to move between tightly packed machinery.
