Introduction:
The industrial revolution was the great increase production of machine-made goods. It began in England in the mid 1700’s. There were more job opportunities and life and work conditions changed drastically for many people. The factories had all the resources needed to make their products, however they needed workers. Women and children were considered cheap labor; therefore they worked many hours receiving little money. Child Labor was used in the 17th century, unfortunately this still occurs today. Comparing the two different time frames, we’ve noticed some relations in some aspects of child labor altogether. Even though the times are so far apart it, how it started is what is the most identifiable. England then was trying to advance their economy and the Ivory Coast now is in the same process of development.

Of course these situations some of the children are going through are very unfair and it needs to have an end to it, it’s not that simple. All we can do is wait for what the future has in
