I'd suggest that these ages are actually a little old based on what actually happened during the industrial revolution. Kids as young as five might well be doing simple jobs and by about 12 I would imagine that kids are working as a full adult. For example a 12 year old girl will probably be nearly as productive at sewing as an adult woman.
