Boys born in a wealthy family were often sent to boarding for education or were tutored at home by eminent tutors while girls were trained in household activities like sewing, knitting etc. which would make them the perfect housewives.

Things were very different in case the of children born in poor families. In their situation, children as small as three or five-year-old were employed by industrial units as they were an important source of labor to the industries but despite the hard work, they could be paid a very mere sum.

A Look into how Victorian Children Lived, Played, Worked and Survived

Life for Victorian Children in Victorian times (1830 to 1900) was nothing like childhood in today’s world. For the wealthy there was an overwhelming sense of boredom and the constant prodding to be proper and polite with very little parent to child communication. For the poor Victorian Children life was much different. The poor children had to work public jobs for their families to survive.  Toys were nothing more than homemade dolls or wooden blocks. On the other hand their family life was tighter knit and more loving.

Because they were considered cheap labor Victorian children were in high demand for  many types of jobs including mining, factory work, street sweepers, clothing and hat makers, chimney sweeps, farming, textile mills, servants, and sadly, prostitution. As you may have already noticed, the British had very little regard for children.

They often worked in very dangerous conditions resulting in injuries or even death.

Very young children were expected to work

There was no education for the poor, so it was very unlikely they could get better paid jobs when they were older.

Children were paid very little because they were younger
