This is an excerpt from an 1833 British report about child labor. Cooped up in a heated atmosphere, debarred the necessary exercise, remaining in one position for a series of hours, one set or system of muscles alone called into activity, it cannot be wondered at – that its effects are injurious to the physical growth of a child. . . . the spinal column bends beneath the weight of the head, bulges out laterally, or is dragged forward by the weight of the parts composing the chest . . . and the whole body loses height, in consequence of this general yielding and bending of its parts. —The Manufacturing Population of England, P. Gaskell, 1833 Does this excerpt corroborate or refute the Sadler report? Explain your answer in one to two sentences.

Respuesta :

Corroborate

The Sadler report revealed children were working very long hours (14-16) with only one break per day for lunch. Children were expected to complete difficult jobs that often put them in physical harm.

The two reports were produced from investigations into child labor conditions.  These investigations eventually created changes in the laws first reducing hours children could work until eventually child labor was outlawed. The end of child labor forced countries to create public education systems to deal with children now unable to work. Families also had to make up for the loss of income that their children had been providing.
