Child labour was a crucial ingredient which allowed Britain's Industrial Revolution to succeed. By the early 19th century, England had more than a million child workers accounting for 15 per cent of the total labour force.
Early owners – located in the countryside so that they could exploit power from rivers – found that local labour was scarce and that those agricultural workers … were available were unsuitable for industrial production. They had decided to create a new work force composed of children, tailor-made for their factories. 
The owners were looking for cheap, malleable and fast-learning work forces – and found their ready-made in the children of urban workhouses. They weren't paid – simply fed and given dormitory and accommodation. The exploitation of children massively increased as newly emerging factories began their operations in the late 18th century.
The use of working-class  children to provide much of the labour force for the Industrial Revolution was, therefore, merely an expansion and extension of an already long-established practice of working-class children employed as farmers or artisans.
