Answer

1. In the 17th–18th centuries, people thought child labour was normal and necessary.
2. Children had to work in factories, mines, and on farms because their families were very poor and needed money.
3. They often started working at a very early age, sometimes at 5 or 6.
4. They had to work long hours in very hard and dangerous conditions.
5. No, children were usually not paid or were paid very little.
6. People began to consider child labour a social issue in the 19th century.
7. The situation changed in the 20th century, when laws protected children and child labour was limited.
8. Now in the USA and Europe, child labour is illegal in most cases, and children are protected by law.

Child labour used to be common and accepted, but over time people understood that children should study and be protected, not work in dangerous conditions.
