Young Pauper
Young Pauper
This illustration of the young pauper girl in Cork is just one example of the many poor children who grew up in poverty on the streets of Cork. She is possibly an orphan, or the daughter of a widowed lady who is struggling with the upkeep of her children and herself in times of need. For many children like her, an application would have been made to the commissioners, to enter the poorhouse to earn a little food for her and her family. However, the unions became increasingly aware of how the poorhouse was not helping the poor out of poverty in the long term, but merely aiding them through the bad times. For his reason they began to send young paupers on apprenticeships, where they would learn a trade that would help them survive when they left the workhouse. In other instances young paupers were helped emigrate to America or Canada, where they would stand a better chance of surviving.
