Question

How did the working conditions of labourers in the US and Europe employed in large factories improve over time?

• A. By asking for shorter work days and higher wages.
• B. By demanding a permanent ban on child labour.
• C. By establishing unions for acknowledment of their rights by their employers.
• D. All of these.

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of these.

To prevent the ill-treatment of workers at the hands of powerful industrialists, they formed unions. They protested for acknowledment of their rights by their employers and demanded shorter work days and higher wages. They also asked for a permanent ban on child labour. Thus, the working conditions of labourers in the US and Europe employed in large factories improved over time.
