alrightie lets see....

**Family Economy**
-Necessity in rural areas, even during Industrial Revolution (farm work)
-survival

**Nuisance and not needed**
-mainly Urban areas during Industrial Revolutions when abortions were frequent
-thorn in the side
>cost a lot to keep after children(goes back to abortion)

**Little Adults**
-Middle Class
>dressed like adults just smaller sizes
- No toys, did work, married young, went to school
>considered adult between ages 12-14?

Upper Class:
-Not necessary
so they are just a huge and expensive pet peeve(hence high percentage of infancide)

Lower Class:
-Family totally depends on children, they ar needed to run the farm and they provide free labor.
-No emotional attachment incase of an incident where a child dies, so all their life they are treated like a factory worker w/o the hazrdous conditions and they at least have a roof over their heads
-being exploited at a young age(like factory workers) but necessary for the survival of the family (unlike factories with their huge labor pool, they could have just used women)

Monarchy:
Males necessary to be the heir to the throne, women? who cares?

*But that really is not anthing new
