Why were children often hired to work in factories during the Industrial Revolution?

-There were no schools for children who lived in the city, so factory owners hired them to give them something to do during the day.
-Men were too busy on the family farm to work in factories, so they had to hire children to have workers in the factories.
-Factories were too dangerous for women to work in, so factory owners hired children instead.
-Children could fit into tight spaces between machines and could be paid smaller wages, so factory owners hired them.
