In history, European countries that had gone through the early stages of the Industrial Revolution and devastated workers' lives with excessive exploitation eventually recognized this issue and started taking measures.
As an industrial pioneer, England enacted the "Factory Acts" in 1802 to ensure the basic survival of workers.
Some important provisions included:
— Factories were not allowed to employ child labor under the age of 9. Children aged 9 and older could work for 8 hours a day, and those over 14 could work for 12 hours a day.
— Workers were not allowed to start work before 6 in the morning, and their bedtime could not be later than 2 in the morning.
— Factories were required to provide clothes that could cover the body, and during the first 4 years, they were obligated to ensure the workers received at least 2 hours of basic education daily.
