 * Observations**

child labor related children in factories depressing themes: protests, fires, negative consequences division between boys and girls/men and women in terms of labor machines are dangerous and dwarf the people no shoes factories are located next to rivers all wear hats women wore dresses (fashion despite hard labor) uniforms for boys and not girls or adults dirty conditions


 * Inferences**

at least one person from each family worked at a factory people working in factories were probably unrelated employers did not really care about well-being of laborers (dangerous conditions and dirty conditions and lack of safety precautions) wages were low (children wouldn't have to work otherwise) gender division in child labor (girls didn't work side-by-side with boys and did different jobs than boys) factories are located next to rivers (energy, transportation, resources, etc.) child labor is bad (grim, depressed, have no choice but to work, "no child slavery," mental illness, can lead to future unemployment, dangerous conditions, injuries widespread) child labor is good (low wages, cheap labor, easy to control, smaller bodies aided in special types of work, there is so much supply, occupied their time)
