Question

investigate how the far the act had solved the problems of child labour.

Answer 1

Young children were working very long hours in workplaces where conditions were often terrible. The basic act was as follows:

no child workers under nine years of age

employers must have an age certificate for their child workers

children of 9-13 years to work no more than nine hours a day

children of 13-18 years to work no more than 12 hours a day

children are not to work at night

two hours schooling each day for children

four factory inspectors appointed to enforce the law

(But I'm pretty sure a lot of factories had total disregard for the act and gave children long hours anyways. Hope this helped. )
