In these family wage systems, the household hired itself out as a gang of workers. All able-bodied family member might be part of the bargain. Whether family members all worked together or each worked independently, whether their wages were pooled into a literal family wage or each worker was paid separately, whether men and boys went one way and the women and girls went another, the single characteristic of the family wage system is a group-hire for at least one adult and at least one child. For the household, it meant that children could contribute to adult earning and, often no less important, that the children would have someplace to go while parents were at work. For the employer, it meant, at the very least, a reduction in the transaction costs associated with employee recruitment. To the extent the employer was successful, it might also mean a reduction in labor costs, a more docile and compliant workforce, and a secure future labor supply (through early socialization and on-the-job training).

Section: Introduction

At the start of the nineteenth century, opium had been a foreign import consumed mostly by men in the southern coastal region. The very wealthy enjoyed it as an object of recreational consumption, the very poor as a palliative to help manage physical exhaustion and hunger. In the second half of the nineteenth century, conditions changed. Opium was more often locally grown than imported (a successful instance of private import substitution), and it was consumed among all strata of society including the middle, usually as a homosocial recreation.

The following paragraph is from page 32 of the same source.

Section: The International Context

The western trade in the opium to China developed through several distinct phases. The earliest began in the seventeenth century and lasted until the 1760s; during this time the drug was mainly shipped either from Portuguese Goa in Portuguese and British vessels, or from Bengal by the Dutch, who held the monopoly on the export opium trade there. In either case it entered China—whether directly or via Macao—through Canton (Guangzhou), which from 1757 was designated by the imperial governments as the only port open to European traffic.
