Question 2 • NY-Global History and Geography II

Answer
A
It immediately led to better working conditions for children and adults.
B
It ended child labor, but conditions for older workers remained the same.
C
It led to gradual improvements in working conditions for everyone.
D
It ended unions, but conditions for child workers improved.

Explanation

Labor reforms in the 1800s did not bring instant change or end child labor altogether.
