Womens work was washing, ironing, cooking(thgh fresh fruit and veggies were rare and expensive)making bread, jam and clothes. The living conditions were cramped(they lived in tents) and primitive toilets were health hazards.
Their wasn't any medical assistance when women were giving birth, only the help of other women and midwives. Diseases such as whooping cough, measles, diphtheria and scarlet fever were easily spread.
Over one quarter of deaths in ballarat were children under five. parents moved alot looking for better patches of gold, so the children had a disrupted education. Most children had to help with the finding of gold. Many parents were unable to educate children.
