Why was reducing working hours included in the demands of workers' associations?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because workers worked for very long hours

During industrialisation, many workers had to remain in factories for very long hours, often under strict discipline and in unhealthy or unsafe conditions. Such schedules left little time for sleep, family life, education, or recovery and could damage workers’ health. Workers’ associations therefore demanded shorter working hours as a practical reform that would limit exploitation and improve the quality of life of wage earners. Option A is correct because excessive working time was the direct reason for this demand. Option B is an exaggeration: workers were asking for humane conditions, not refusing all work. Option C is wrong because the issue was excessive labour, not an absence of factory work. Option D has no connection with the historical situation.
