Lesson 5- Labor Reform

Question 3 • NY-Global History and Geography II

Which of the following best describes the impact of labor reform both in the United States and in Great Britain during the 1800s?

Answer
A
Reforms ended the need for unions, as conditions for workers had improved.
B
Reforms resulted in laws that put an end to all child labor by 1900.
C
Reforms led to gradual improvements in working conditions for everyone.
D
Reforms had no impact, and working conditions remained the same.

Explanation

Labor reforms in the United States and Great Britain brought gradual changes, such as limits on working hours and restrictions on some dangerous or exploitative work. These reforms improved conditions over time, but they did not immediately help every worker or eliminate all problems. Therefore, “gradual improvements in working conditions for everyone” is the best description; child labor was not completely ended by 1900, and unions remained important.
