Victorian children were often forced to work due to widespread poverty and the economic demands of the Industrial Revolution. Families relied on the income generated by their children to survive, as many parents earned meager wages. Additionally, the demand for cheap labor in factories, mines, and other industries made it profitable for employers to hire children, who were seen as expendable and easier to control. This exploitation was exacerbated by a lack of legal protections and social reforms during that era.
