Children werenever happy then and they only earned very small amounts of money. Half a penny was what they earned. If they had poor parents that money had to do. Children labour was held in factories, chimney sweep, rat catching and all sorts of other things. You wouldn't do that to your kids would you?

Children working in coal mines in the Victorian era were paid very low wages, often just a few shillings per week. Their wages were significantly lower than those of adult miners due to their age and inexperience, and they were often subject to harsh working conditions and long hours.
Their parents paid for them to go to school.
Slaves get paid nothing.
Victorian workers were mostly children. These children were called labours. They worked very hard. But they didn't get paid properly. These children were very poor.

Victorian children got paid so little because the government didn't have enough money to give to them, because they also had to give money to all the children in the country. They only paid them meat or bread, and usually only got 2 pounds a year!
