Answer: I assume you are asking about the role of children in the development of industries. According to Erik Erikson’s theory of psychosocial development, children between the ages of six and 11 are in the stage of industry vs. inferiority. During this stage, children learn new skills and develop a sense of self-worth by navigating new challenges and making attempts to overcome them.
However, during the industrial revolution, children were put to work in factories to keep up with the demand for products. This practice was controversial and dangerous for children.
It is important to note that while children have played a role in the development of industries, child labour is illegal in many countries today. Instead, children are encouraged to focus on their education and personal growth.
