If you read a bit further it even says how it originated in industrial revolution Britain and happened all over the world.

Industrial Britian had an enormous activist labor movement. A slew of left wing thinkers and agitators emerged from the British academic scene, including Marx, Engels, Lenin, and Ghandi.

I’m not asking about socialist or social democratic or labour movement policies in capitalist countries

How are you defining “Capitalist Country” if you ignore all the socialist policies a country has implemented?

Hell, how do you define Socialist Country, if you exclude every one that’s undergone Capitalist accumulation?

8-hour work week is a socialist policy, espoused by socialist parties and implemented in governments with socialist majorities. Same with pensions and other public retirement funds.

The more socialists you have setting policy, the shorter your work week and the earlier your retirement.
