Children hard at work in mills, mines, and factories during the early 1900's. Despite work by reformers in the late 1800's and early 1900's, the industrial revolution and the growing immigrant population led to even more use of child labor. They were more nimble, smaller, and less able to unionize and protect themselves. One of the good things to come out the Great Depression was child labor reform. Adults needed jobs and children needed educations. Unions formed for proper reform and protection for all workers. As a result, child labor laws were reformed and it was eventually outlawed and eliminated.
