The English Factory Act of 1833 banned the employment of children under age nine in textile factories. It also limited the working hours of children aged 9-13 to 8 hours a day and required them to have at least 2 hours of education per day. However, it did not establish a minimum wage, displace women from the workforce, or require factories to provide housing.
