Child workers in England, 1780-1820 : parish apprentices and the making of the early industrial labour force
Honeyman, Katrina2007
Book
A particularly supply of child workers was via the parish apprenticeship trade, whereby pauper children could move from the 'care' of poor law officialdom to the 'care' of early industrial textile entrepreneurs. This study examines both the process and experience of parish factory apprenticeship.
