Excerpt from The Employment of Children: Report of an Inquiry Conducted for the Scottish Council for Women's Trades; Compiled by Special Investigators
The conditions Of children's labour, which form the subject of the following reports, have been more or less under the consideration of the Scottish Council for Women's Trades for some time.
The Council have been led to undertake the present enquiry by the evidence brought before them Of the large number of boys and girls who, year after year, on leaving our national schools, are forced to take up the first unskilled work that offers regardless of whether it is such as is likely to provide them with an adequate wage in the future. It is Obvious that the large proportion of unskilled workers thus thrown regularly on the labour market constitutes a grave economic evil, alike to those personally affected and to the community at large.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a thorough investigation of the employment of children in Scotland from the perspective of school headmasters. The author analyzes responses from 1406 children aged 6 to 15 across 22 schools in Edinburgh. Beyond chronicling the length and nature of children's work, the book also delves into the physical and mental effects of such labor. The author finds that while light work like running errands may not be harmful, excessive work â" over 30 hours per week â" can harm a child's health and interfere with their schoolwork. The author also explores the economic reasons behind families sending their children to work, and the ways in which children's work can train them for future employment or hinder that training. This book offers a valuable insight into the lives of working children in Scotland at the turn of the century. It sheds light on the challenges they faced, the effects of their labor, and the complex relationship between work and education for children. The author's meticulous research and careful analysis make this book a valuable resource for historians, sociologists, and anyone interested in the plight of working children. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
