Detailed explanation-1: -Sweeping social changes occurred, including the growth of cities and the development of working-class movements. Urban areas grew rapidly as rural populations flocked to the cities for work. For millions of laborers, industrialization often meant substandard wages and working conditions.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Industrial Revolution shifted from an agrarian economy to a manufacturing economy where products were no longer made solely by hand but by machines. This led to increased production and efficiency, lower prices, more goods, improved wages, and migration from rural areas to urban areas.
Detailed explanation-3: -Poor workers were often housed in cramped, grossly inadequate quarters. Working conditions were difficult and exposed employees to many risks and dangers, including cramped work areas with poor ventilation, trauma from machinery, toxic exposures to heavy metals, dust, and solvents.
