In this study, I will examine how child labour occurred and changed at Transjö glass factory between 1880-1930. The study is based on how family constellations, class differences amongst parents and the need affected the existence of child labour. It is the families with child labourers that will be examined to discover how child labour occurred and what might have been the reasons for it. There was a strong difference between the superior child labourers for whom the work was apprentice based and the inferior child labourers who worked to contribute to the family economy. The conclusions that have emerged are that family constellations, family needs, glass factory needs, and class difference between employees all are parts that contribute to and help explain how child labour could occur in a glass factory.
