Produktbeschreibung
Boy Labour and Apprenticeship by Frederick James Gould is a comprehensive exploration of the conditions, challenges, and prospects faced by working boys in early 20th-century Britain. Drawing on firsthand observations, statistical data, and contemporary reports, Gould examines the social, economic, and educational factors shaping the lives of young male workers. The book delves into the various forms of boy labour, from factory and workshop employment to street trades and domestic service, highlighting the often harsh realities and limited opportunities available to working-class youth. Gould critically assesses the apprenticeship system, tracing its historical development and evaluating its effectiveness in providing vocational training and upward mobility. He discusses the decline of traditional apprenticeships, the rise of unskilled and casual labour, and the impact of industrialization on the prospects of young workers. The author also addresses the role of education, both formal and informal, in preparing boys for the workforce, and advocates for reforms to improve their training, working conditions, and future prospects. Throughout the book, Gould emphasizes the importance of social responsibility, urging employers, educators, and policymakers to recognize the potential of working boys and to invest in their development. He offers practical recommendations for improving apprenticeship schemes, regulating child labour, and expanding educational opportunities, with the aim of fostering a more just and equitable society. Rich in detail and insight, Boy Labour and Apprenticeship remains a valuable resource for understanding the historical context of youth employment and the ongoing challenges of vocational training and social mobility.
